Thread: Model 7, 7mm08 - new barrel?

its cost me roughly 100ish for a fitting in the past, and about 150ish upwards for a new take off barrel

often the cal stamp doesnt line up so be prepaired for that

why do you think the barrel you have is poked out of interest?
Id cut it short as fuck first if it is a throw away and see if its any better accuraccy wise. its gone both ways for me in the past, both more and less accurate on different rifles

Cheers bill, i might cut it back a bit further to see if that provides any improvement. I've struggled to get a good group out of it no matter what i did and have cut it down to its current length, the rifling appeared to be worn at the crown.
