I have a 26" barrel that is shooting really well, and I am thinking about chopping about 4" off of it so I can make a more suitable hunting/carry rifle. It's varmint contour, so the rifle is pretty heavy and combersome in a stand. Would cutting and recrowning change a barrel's accuracy? I can see where it might alter the harmonics, and possible require tweaking on the load development. But, If the barrel is accurate, it would most like remain accurate.....this is my main question?
thanks guys
