[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 3089157, member: 68875"] If you go to a 28", I would suggest going up to at least a #4 contour if you stick with steel. That might require stock work to open up the barrel channel. Depending on that stock, some are a real PITA to open up if they are the plastic type. Fiberglass/carbon stocks are easier to work on. If you stick with the same contour, I wouldn't go much longer than 26". You can always get a steel barrel fluted to help reduce some weight. Typically 5-8oz depending on depth, width, length, and number of flutes. But this will add about $100-200+ to the price of the barrel. Now you are in the $500-600 range. Add Ceakote, and that gets you into the $600-700 range. [/QUOTE]
