I would like as much info as possible on improving the accuracy of my Model 700, 300 Win. Mag, ss barrel, synthetic stock, Swarovski scope. Already had trigger work, 3 lbs. What else can I do and how do I do it? Glassbedding, porting, muzzlebreak, shorten barrel? Are there any free websites with step by step illustrated instructions? I NEED to know about shortening barrel. My stupid self shot rifle with barrel obstruction and barrel has a bulge in it about 1 1/2 inches from end, looks like it was made that way.. it wasn't! One experienced gunsmith told me I only need about 16 inches of barrel and it could be cut down until I.D. mics correctly. Should I add muzzle break or compensator to restore length, accuracy? I don't won't to waste my time and money if I am going to need a new barrel anyway. Gunsmith I am speaking with has a lot of firsthand, field tested experience but I find it hard to believe gun will be just as accurate. He says you only need enough barrel to burn all the powder to achieve velocity. I am interested in long-range hunting as my flat marshland presents quite a few oppurtunities of extreme ranges...500, 800 yds. and more.
