aftermarket 300 win mag barrel

[ford97]

hi i have a 110 in 300 win mag with a 24" sporter barrel and i was wondering if there is a aftermarket heavy varmint barrel that i could buy that is also in 300 win mag and is at least 26" long?

Fred had a 26" Douglas 300WM for sale in the classifieds.

I'd a bought it, but money's tight.

Beyond that, 26" 300Wm heavy is a standard trip for any aftermarket barrel maker

thanks for the reply. who would make this barrel? which manufacrurers? and what is the average price?

There are a bunch of manufacturers in the $300 dollar price range. Shillen, McGowen, Douglas SSS, Lothar Walther, just to name a few. All are going to take about 6 months to build. I'm a personal fan of Douglas by SSS. They built me a 308 barrel and is one of the most accurate rifles I've ever seen for the money I paid.

Keep in mind, you may have to purchase another stock if you're going from a sporter barrel to a varmint contour barrel.

Northland Shooting Supply has a Shilen 300WM varmint in stock

(he's away at the SHOT show through 1/25)

Ferret 50 (http://www.ferret50.com/products.html -- look at bottom of linked page) carries Lothar Walther 300WM as one of his standard chamberings. I got one from him a couple years back. Although he didn't have it in stock, I got it in less than a couple months.
