Re: Making the best out of a bad deal

After my last post, I was thinking about the intonation thing: You could move to a 66 mm like you mentioned; however, you don't want to go too long by accident. It's probably better to be sharp and be able to pull out than be flat and have nothing you can really do. If you're consistently sharp, though, you could go to the 66mm. They also sell tuning rings that you can put in a barrel that's too sharp to bring down the pitch.
I've never tried a Backun so I can't really compare the two, but I think they're both pretty good, and there are other options out there too. The best thing to do would probably be to try out a few different types (both brand-wise and material-wise) and compare them. I personally like the Clark Fobes cocobolo, but you might find you like Backun better, or maybe you'll prefer a grenadilla barrel over a cocobolo barrel.
