Thread: Which Barrel

My Bartlein is awesome but had Tueflite do smiting and will be using there barrels and smithing next time. Absolutely awesome accuracy and attention to detail.

True Flite. Probably easiest logistically.
I really like True Flite barrels. I have four, all stainless steel, all different cals. I think they produce a high quality product. I borescoped each barrel I received and every one was damn near perfect.
They will copper foul but more slowly than chrome moly in my opinion. And I reckon the copper cleans out more easily than chrome moly.
Maybe True Flite aint quite the equivalent of the best of the best American options but I say easily more than adequate for hunting purposes. My barrels give me great accuracy.
1 / 10 twist will be fine for 165 gn projectiles.
Are you going with original barrel length and contour ?

Another guy whose barrel making talents I respect is Hugh Bradley. But, unsure if he is still making them now.

Yet another possible option is Kiwi Greg ( Terminator Products ). A member here. Makes barrels using Brux blanks and builds high accuracy rifles. Brux is a higly regarded producer of match grade barrels. Might be worth talking to Greg.
