Thread: prefit barrels

From a cost perspective, probably not much difference between buying a new howa barrelled action and a criterion prefit.

Easy enough to fit the prefit barrel if you have access to the tools and headspace gauges.

I've recently had a prefit Criterion barrel fitted to my Rem 700 .223. Early days yet but so far, so good.
No problem getting 3 shots inside 25mm at 200m, bore fouling minimal thru bore scope.
DIY swap over should be easy enough if you have the tools needed to remove current barrel.
