For those wanting to go with a little 'higher-end' prefit barrels, I cannot recommend Pac-Nor enough. Wait time was right on the money at 8 weeks and the craftsmanship is flawless. I'll let the accuracy speak for itself.
First 5 shots out of my .338 Lapua @ 200 yards, no load work up:

Win, where did you get the 338 pac-nor barrel from?
Good shooting.
I bet he got it from Pac-Nor
Correct, ordered directly through Pac-Nor. It was on my doorstep 9 weeks from the day I ordered it.
29" stainless super match, NBRSA contour, 1:10, bead blasted, threaded 3/4x28. It's a heavy SoB but it sure is a shooter.
2nd that. The .308 super match barrel I got from them broke in one the first shot.

That's sweet right out of the chute. Winnie, care to share the details of the rifle with us.
I've been saying for years now that a new barrel that won't shoot from the get go never will win any match's for you and is not worth wasting your time on.
Take it easy on my 'braska buddy darkker!!!
An opportunity to whore out my rifle?! :pQuote:

Are they cut rifling or button pulled?
Extremely nice weapon BTW!!!!
they are cut and IMHO a cut barrel is way more consistent as they dont hold much(if any)copper.
Correct, they are cut rifling. I'm anal about break-in procedures and checking for copper through the first 50 rounds or so... There was next to none every time I checked. Run a few patches through it with break-free, followed by isopropyl, lube it up and she's ready to go. Definitely impressed by the quality and consistency thus far.Quote:

Man with that gun you should be hitting diamonds every time
Sure thing. It definitely wasn't cheap, but compared to alternative .338 Lapua platforms, it wasn't as expensive as you'd think. Also, the looks on people's faces when it outshoots their $$$ custom rigs is entertaining to say the least ;)Quote:

Just so happens that I have a thing for big, badass rounds, and this is what I wanted to build. It also helps when you have steel silhouettes in 200 yard intervals out to a mile at your disposal... Might see if I can get into some ELR bench comps, but it's out of the question for any type of tactical match. It's really just one of those rifles that you have just for the sake of having, but it's certainly fun to break out every once in a while. Gets lots of attention at the public ranges when it goes off, that's for sure.
This was before I even had a chance to play with my zero. It definitely hits diamonds when you want it to, but golf balls at 400 yards are pretty fun as well :thumb:Quote:

This is from Pacnor's web site-don't think they are cut rifled.
jray you are right...i always ASSumed the pacnors where cut but ive never really looked into them other than reading some reviews.
That makes 2 of us... Either way they don't hold much copper at all.Quote:

I've had 3- still have one. They have all been good for me.
I Got mine from Pac Nor also. I went with the Super Match in a 6MMBR, 30 Inch SS Barrel.. Similar results right out of the box. I have re barreled mine 4 times now and this is by far the best barrel I have had.
I own about a half dozen and even the standard match shoot sub 1/4 MOA.
I have a couple pac-nors and they are very good barrels, actually better than good they are excellent barrels. I wouldn't hesitate buying another one either.
Does anyone know the price on Pac Nor Savage Pre fit barrels ?
Check their “Prices” page: http://pac-nor.com/pricelist/
great shooting barrels
