StonecreekWhose barrel for a .416 Rem project
I'm planning to rebarrel a Sako L61R to .416 Rem Mag -- probably a 24-incher in medium-heavy contour. I know that not all of the barrel manufacturers produce this caliber. Which barrel maker would you recommend. BTW, I'm not a fan of stainless and probably want chrome moly.

30 Caliber Mag FanSteve-
My top two choices would be Krieger and Lilja. I have several of each and haven't had a bad one yet.
That said, I am anxious to try a Brux barrel, they seem to be an offshoot of Krieger.

I think it must be a Blackburn.

StonecreekThanks for all of the suggestions. The consensus seems to be that there is no consensus!
