Dean I had sorta thought about being able to keep the barrel for a change every once in a while but wasnt sure, especially since it got marred up pretty bad.
Ben, I had planned to go into detail with the "machine work" so I gotcha covered when I get to that point.
Loneranger, I haven't decided on the stock yet, but Ive already got my barrel and caliber picked out. Its a Mcgowen 1:8 twist, chambered in the 6x55 Swede. Dean (aka scope eye), and Hot Olds turned me onto it a little while back, when i was asking about a 6mm. Thats a caliber I dont have and I wanted it to be different, so....thats what I went with. Its chambered using a 6br reamer (Dean, correct me if I'm wrong) but run in a little bit farther. Accuracy reports are really good and the speed is awesome too. There should definitely be a nice red mist factor where varmints are concerned ;). A big plus is being able to use Lapua brass, for reasonably cheap $70ish/100.
