Gunsmithing Sako 75 accuracy

[gei]

I posted several times about the inaccuracy of a m 75 sako in 270 wsm. I am going to send the rifle to Sako (Beretta) & see what happens, I have a feeling they will shoot it @ 50 yards & say it is OK. If they do, I will probably re-barrel the rifle.

What is a good barrel to put on a hunting rifle, my 7mm rem mag will shoot 2" + @ 300 yards, my 308 sako will shoot everything you put in it under 1" @ 100 yards. I want accuracy but don't need a target rifle, keep it fairly light for a hunting rifle, will have 24" barrel.

My rem has Hart barrel, Sako factory barrel. What would be your suggestions, has anyone ever worked with a "gain trist" rifling? It is a progressive rifling, heard about it but don't know about it. How much should I expect to spend?

Thanks

Re: Sako 75 accuracy

I have had very good results with Shilen, Krieger and Lilja, will be testing a Montana #7 this week end, seems very smooth and priced a little below the other major brands, haven't expeirmented with the gain twist barrels.

You may wanna look into Lothar Walther. Their steel is more resistant to throat erosion than the rest.

I'd go with a Bartlein or Broughton barrel.
