    What's current realistic wait time for a barrel ?


    Looking to get 3 barrel's made.

    1 . 264 WIN MAG , 26" , 1-8" , SS , Mag contour - .680" - .750", small shank
    2. 22-250 REM , 26" , 1-7" , SS , Varmint contour - .800" - .900" , small shank
    3. 7 REM MAG , 26" , 1-9" , SS , Mag contour - .680" - .750" , small shank

    All bead blasted / mat finished .

    Was going to start calling around on Monday to get an idea of the wait time.

    Am open to anybody's advice or suggestions.

    And what's going on with SAVAGE-BARRELS.COM . Been checking on the website for the last two weeks ,and nothing has changed with what is says about the "Make-Over"
    Purchased 2 barrels from him/them back in 2010.

    Thanks.

    Depends on which barrel maker, I ordered one awhile back from Jim at NSS and he said about 12 wks.

    I would expect 4-6 months for a barrel. Most of mine have taken closer to 10 months though.

    I asked around few weeks ago and most said 8-12 weeks realistic, which was too long for me. I called Sharpshooter Supply and they had some Brux blanks in stock to chamber for me. I was looking for target contour large shank in 300 wsm. THey had a blank in 30 cal with 1:10 twist and they said they could chamber it in 2-3 weeks. Try them if you are in a hurry. I should have mine in 2 weeks so we shall see.
