I guess on the bright side I'm going to have one very accurate Remintion 721 300 H&H rifle when it comes back with the McGowan Precision Barrel. I suppose I could have cut down the barrel by an inch and saved a bunch of money, but it would have kept eating at me. Luckily 721's are not really highly collectible so they can still be had at reasonable prices.... Just need to watch the auctons.

I already looked, you'll find one. I only found one in 300 Win.

I countered bored it 1/4" with a 3/8" rotary bur in my hand drill. Made all the difference. Yours being 1/2" would be a lathe job.

Yours ideally would be done with a special drill bit too.

300 WIN MAG would be fun. I have a Remington 783 Bolt-Action Rifle with Factory Scope in 300 WIN MAG. Bought it 2015 and it still new in the box, I've never shot it. I only bought it because it was on the clearance shelf - It's an ugly rifle that has that small ejection port.. LOL but I could not say no to a 300 WIN MAG at just over $200.00 US
