First since this is about a factory barrel, I hope this is the right place to post this question.
Has anyone here bought one of the Savage 26" 300 Win Mag barrels from the Gunshack, and if so where you satisfied? How did it group? What bullets have you tried?
Thanks, I have searched but just can't seem to find any comments on this.

I got a criterion so I guess that doesn't count but it did replace a sporter weight 24" stainless factory barrel I am trying to part with that grouped .75 consistent, tighter if I was having a good day. Only 20 rounds through it. I shoot too much so I upgraded to the varmint contour.

I got one but have really o nly broken it in one day. I will soon shoot the remainder of a box of factory ammo through it. I like the dimensions of it, a little thicker than sporter yet light enough for a carry/hunting gun.

One thing to note, it is unmarked because savage stamps them after mounting

update, only shot one box of prvi factory thru it and it did not like that flavor at all. 3 inch group maybe. I just wanted the brass and opportunity to clean up the bore with this, but I hope the results impove a lot with my loads.
