Did you dupe the factory contour or open up the channel for a bigger barrel? That last pic almost looks like a bigger contour.

Yep, sent the barrel to hart and they duped the factory contour. Took it down to the meat market and it weighed in at 6.28 lbs.

You can have that wonderful paint work done and then ship your rifle to him for his autograph etched on the floorplate somewhere. That would "automatically" double the value of your rifle. A Big/Stickboxer valued piece of art work. Kinda like a Van Goooooooooooo.

No doubt, I have accurate rifles that cost half as much. But I wasn't going for just an accurate rifle. I was going for this rifle.

Nice rifle Badley! Good for you....screw what anyone else says,and get what you want. Nice conversion and the Hart just enhances things, as any great custom barrel usually does.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Hart barrels are better than factory Remingtons?
