As they would get older and the groups would open up a bit he would take a hacksaw to it in a heart beat. One would make a mistake to shoot groups with him for more than just fun. He won many bench rest shoots when he was younger living in South Texas. I now own a Remington Varminter in .243 with a 20 inch barrel. I also have his little Remington 725 in .222 and his little Remington 6 mm..All of them will still shoot and all were cut off at least once with a hacksaw. He would start out by marking the barrel with a set of tubing cutters. The cutters would mark the line that he would stay off of a little with his hacksaw. He would then file it down to the line. Crowning was done with a 1/4 inch drill motor..Once again..It sounds rough and crude but his groups would speak for themselves.</p></blockquote><p></p>
