Here is the latest project I’ve been seriously considering. I have a Ruger #3 single shot that I would like to re-barrel for the 6.8mm SPC to use as a medium range hunting rifle (up to 300yds). I want to use a heavy varmint weight barrel & I am an accuracy devotee. I want to optimize for bullets between 100 to 130gr. I'm assuming that I can get a new, smaller extractor from Ruger. I plan to install a beaver-tail forend.
Suggestions & comments please on:
TIA…

Suggestions & comments please on:
- Should it be chambered for 6.8mm SPC or SPC-II?
- Ideal twist for 110gr bullets?
- Suggested barrel length.
- Will getting a scope base for the new barrel be a big problem?
TIA…
