    PAC-NOR Barrels

    Has anyone heard of or used these barrels? What’s their reputation and performance like?

    Thanks

    The factory burnt down late last year
    Real shame as they made faster twist barrels than most

    Good quality, buy with confidence. They shoot great and are quite accurate.

    Are you looking at that one on Trade Me?

    Excellent barrels. Steve Blenkarne used them here in NZ back in the day and he turned out very accurate rifles. I had one.

    Great barrels, up with the best. Have had one from Steve Blenkarne and knew a few others also that had Steve's Pro Hunter rifles.

    It is a good rifle that one it was one i built and has a re-chambered barrel that was a LRM first but didn't do many rounds before becoming a saum.

    Do you remember the twist rate Cam. Its been on my watch list but I'm not really interested unless it's 8 twist. More than happy to bow out to @superdiver if you decide you want it.
