Sorry guys, I somehow missed your posts.
What I decided on was to have them copy the original barrel contour until it reached .800" then continue at that slightly larger size for the rest of the length of the barrel. I did not want to have to modify the chassis in any way. My plan was that I could still buy a Howa 20" HB barreled action and mount it to the same chassis.
I decided to go with a SS 22" Kreiger 1:8 twist 5R rifling and threaded 5/8-24. At the time of the order Kreiger was at 6 months delivery (now at 9-12 months) so it is still going to be awhile before I get it back. I hope to be able to shoot it next summer sometime.
When I talked to Mark originally he said that Kreiger was good about doing custom contours. I told him when I settled with him that he would not hear from me again unless he contacted me. I knew how slammed he was then when I ordered and that I would have to wait whatever time it took.
