Jim @ Apache gun works started offering them a while back, seems some of the members here have gotten them and been very pleased with them. Im sure some of them will chime in.

Had Jim do a 7 twist 243Win on an X-Caliber Blank for me. I shot a 5 shot group at 415yds that measures 1.438". Weather was 33 degrees, snowing, with a 2-3mph wind. I was shooting off a Bipod and rear bag. I've only cleaned it with a bore snake and some Hoppes #9 2 times in about 450-500 rounds. My data has been pretty much the same from that 33* weather to the 80-90* weather we have now in SOCAL.

I'm very happy with this barrel!

I ordered mine direct from Jon at X-Caliber, process was a breeze. This is my first precision rifle so there will have to be a bunch of variables to be worked through (e.i. Mostly my shooting) before we'll be able to honestly say how the barrel performs. I have high hopes.

I'm very happy with this barrel! Sounds like the same accuracy I'm getting from my 223AI at the same range using a barrel by Sinarms.
