I changed my first barrel simply because I'd shot out the original and wanted a tighter twist to shoot heavier bullets with the intent of shooting long range. So I literally bought the barrel, action vice and go gage and was done in like 20 minutes. Kinda anti-climatic after all that waiting for parts to arrive. But I didn't gain much over the performance of the stock barrel as I kept it as originally chambered, and didn't go Ackley improved for instance.
Share your goals with us and perhaps more suggestions will pour in, but beware.....when you start changing barrels, you're about to fall headfirst down a verrrry deep rabbit hole!
Kinda addicting!
