Maybe things are changing at Pac-Nor. I ordered a sporter contour barrel from them a couple years back. It was threaded and chambered in .300 Savage. The barrel was lousy! With handloads and factory ammo I could never get a consistent group and the best group size was 3 inches at 100y. Anyway, it coppered very badly. The bore had a lot of pits and scratches and the chamber was reamed off center.
I told them about it and sent them the barrel. They "inspected" the barrel and then told me the problem was caused by improper cleaning! You can imagine how I felt.
I told them there is no way that the problem was caused by a graphite rod with a nylon bore brush. I had the barrel inspected locally by an experienced and well thought of rifle builder and he confirmed it was Pac-Nor's fault. He said it appeared that the bore was rifled with a dull button and the chamber reamer was drilled off center.
I asked for a new barrel or a refund and got neither. I cannot recommend a Pac-Nor barrel to anyone regardless of how good their quality gets. >
