I'm piecing together a .260 on a Rem 700 SA bare action. Upon completion, it will be given to my 12 year old son as a deer / target rifle. I want to maximize the potential for accuracy, while not going too heavy. I've decided on a Bartlein 5R in 8.5 twist. I reviewed their website and I am thinking about going with the Light Palma contour.
Thoughts from those that know more than me about the contours? Would cutting a Light Palma contour barrel down to 22" be detrimental? Would the Bull Sporter yield similar accuracy as the LP? Any pictures of a #8 LV Modified?
