REVIEWS
***** Nice light accurate barrelReview by Alexander
Put 100 rounds breaking in and zeroing on my 308 build. Razor accurate at 100yds, 1 moa and better, and I'm only an average, training to get better, shooter. Worth the long wait. (Posted on 4/27/2019)
***** Tack Driver-Excellent QualityReview by ColoradoBob
This is a heavy contour barrel but with the fluting it is no heavier than a standard contour barrel. Quality and finish is top-notch. Bore scope inspection showed that the interior of the barrel is nearly flawless. Accuracy is amazing. My previous 18" "match" barrel that was on the receiver could barely hold a 2" group at 100 yards, this one is roughly 1/2 inch at 100 yards. Phenomenal accuracy, great finish and quality throughout. Very definitely worth the investment. (Posted on 1/21/2019)
