IMO, I would go with the nitride barrel for two reasons. The first reason is it makes the underlying stainless steel more corrosion resistant. The second and more important reason it that it makes...

The most important thing one can do is vote for people who are less likely to create or allow a SHTF situation. Research and make good choices in the primary elections!

Mind are all in .30-06. But I would really like one in 7mm-08. Saw on decades ago at the LGS with a heavy Krieger barrel. Went back a few days later but it was gone. :groner:

I have a 7mm 1893 Mauser stamped "OVS" which are the initials for the Boer's Orange Free State (in Dutch).
