The best deal going is from CMP. They have Kimber, Remington, and Anschutz rifles you can buy cheap. I have bought some of all of the above from them in the past couple of years.

I told them what the load was, and they were cool about it. They re-barreled the rifle with no questions asked. They did not in the least bit care I was shooting handloaded ammo in my rifle.
Back to the Ruger rifle. The only thing I can possibly imagine is that for some reason they had to heat the barrel and take it off during the mfg. process. I bent the chamber in an ultra light vanguard rifle doing this. I actually bent a lot more than the chamber, but that is beyond the scope of this discussion. I was trying to get the barrel off a 7mm rem mag to ream it to 7STW and it would not come off. A lot of heat and a big pull bar later, we had a bent chamber and ended up going back with a custom barrel. I talked to a highly respected rifle builder that told me he had bent the action on several vangards trying to get the barrel off, but he had never bent the barrel. Howa obviously does a good job of screwing their barrels on.

Reynolds357 - I had a Remington 700 that the neck of the chamber was too short.
