James, You said that was an older action. Take a look at the bolthead to make sure it is the modern design with a flat barrel breach.
Guy I got it from said it’s 12yrs old atleast. I will check it when I get back by my house
You are good to go with a prefit purchased from any of our site sponsors or any that you choose like Bugholes.com.
Thanks I will check the offerings. I had a Rock Creek in my last custom gunQuote:

First place I would go to would be Jim at Northland Shooters Supply. He usually keeps finished barrels in stock from Criterion and Shilen. I've ordered both kinds from him and they are shooters.
If you want a cut rifled barrel fairly quick (around 4 weeks), check out Southern Precision rifles. I had them do a 300 Norma Magnum. The quoted time was what they delivered. They keep several cut rifle blanks from different manufacturers. You tell them what you want, and they will get it to you.
Im still waiting to get by my house to confirm what Robin has asked me to look at to check it outQuote:

I don't think Bughole had any PRC reamers 300 or 6.5, As was suggested Northland shooters supply, that was you can you can check two Bbl. makers for your reamer. Also, look at X-Caliber.Quote:

Not sure were you got your information on Bugholes/Southern Precision not having either the 6.5 PRC or the 300PRC reamer. According to Greg Young(owner) at Bugholes they have the 6.5 PRC with .130" freebore and the 300 PRC with the SAAMI freebore.Quote:

Unless you are in a dire hurry , BLACK FRIDAY,& Christmas, ie; Christmas sales aren't that far off.
Yea I’m gonna wait on sales. I’m still trying finish up things on other projectsQuote:

FYI NSS can do a 300 PRC in a Shilen but not a CBI. CBI won't do it on a small shank if I remember correctly. Greg at southern precision rifle has a 300 reamer and does excellent work. I have 2 barrels from him. One is a 300 PRC. Both are Bartlien and shoot very well. I also have several CBI barrels and love them. Hope this helps.
