Welp, I screwed up and left a bore sight in the end of my barrel :( I've been doing some research and decided on Shaw barrels. Its seems like Eabco has a nice one for a good price. I'm just wondering if I need to add a base when ordering? Or will the stock base fit on the new barrel?

Thanks

If your talking about open sight, no it will require a gunsmith. If it is a scope, no problem.

I have this rifle with this scope base (http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/252482093350-0-1/s-l1000.jpg) so it should transfer to the new Shaw barrel?

Yes, that base stays with the reciever.

I'd remove it when changing the barrel thou.

Thanks! That's what I thought. What's the option for on their website then?

Suggested products to increase sales, kind of like a cashier asking you if you would fries with your order.

I've done the same thing with a boresighter in the barrel of a cherry little remix gon model 7 243. Cost me a bunch of money to get it fixed!
