Hello all, just joined great site. Before any one blasts me I have used the search function, I have used google, I have sifted the first two pages of the vendors forum. I am having a hell of a time finding a heavy/bull barrel for my model 111 chambered in .30-06! If any one can point me in the right direction that would be great!

P.S. I cannot afford a $300+ barrel. I have checked midway, brownells, and e.r. Shaw only makes factory contours (that I can find)

E R Shaw makes varmint and heavy barrels according to their website for $247 . Green Mountain makes barrel blanks for $139.99 but you would need to have them contoured and chambered by a gunsmith.

Thank you. Have you ever opened your mouth and then instantly realized that you didn't read the entire description AFTER some one points it out to you. Then feel dumb? Who's got two thumbs and feels dumb,,,,,,, this guy! Thank you again, this is probably the route I will take!

BTW, the Model 111 can use barrels made for the Model 110 and Model 112. The Model 111 is only offered as a hunting rifle so the thin sporter barrels are usually what they are sold with. It's a simple barrel swap as the actions are the same.
