Ok long story short the Fiance is wanting to get into deer hunting and I am trying to put together a rig for her. She likes shooting my little 223 Rossi single shot but I am not a fan of 223 on deer so I remembered I have a 6mmBR barrel sitting in the back of the safe. After measuring it I find it to be 15" well what to do. She is recoil sensitive and has shot my 243 and doesn't really like it but she has also shot my other 6mmBr barrel which is set up for bench rest (26in and 24 power scope)and likes it just fine. My question is what kinds of opinions do you all have on trying to make this little 15inch pistol barrel a little longer so I can set it for rifle season? Also I am kind of shying away from a muzzle brake. Yes I realize this will help with any recoil but remember this is a carbine length barrel on an encore. I'm figuring with a brake it will be stupid loud. Let me know what you guys think, and also who you would recommend to do the work. I dont want to spend as much as a new barrel would be but I like good work
***as a side note if I can't make this work I would be interested in seeing if anyone had a barrel out there to trade for this one***
Thanks
Matthew
