I bought this barrel from a forum member,
who made this barrel?

Looking at the stamping, I say I had something to do with it...

If that's the case, nice snag!

That barrel sure looks awfully familiar.

boots, could you pls tell us more about the barrel the suspense is killing me....

I sold a 10" twist 30BR barrel that looked awfully similar to that one, some modified collet dies for the 30BR, and a bag full of necked up 7BR brass to a member here some time ago. I bought it used from another member and IIRC (please keep in mind I have bought and sold a few barrels so my memory is not perfect) I was told the round count was 150 or less and I only ran 50 or so through when I sold it. It shot so much like my 308 and recoil was a bout the same so I let it go to free up that action for something new. Now I only ran the 155 A-Max through it and it did well, but for me it gave me nothing my 308 didn't already do a little faster. For some reason I thought he told me it was a pac-nor barrel but like Fred said it looks like his stamping so maybe Fred built it on a Pac-Nor blank perhaps? Don't recall who I solt it to or bought it from, but if that's it, it was a nice barrel.

It would have to be a Douglas....I've never chambered any Pac Nors for a Savage.

Douglas. I knew it was a quality name brand for sure, I could be remembering Pac-Nor from something else.
