I used the email address that they show on their website and was able to get the specs for my .243 barrel.
They only say "308" on their webpage. Anyone know what they are? Specificaly throat length and neck diameter?

Allready sent them an email. Hopefully they will respond
I bet you hear back quick. I doubt it was more than 24 hours before I heard back.
Criterion lists the following 308 Winchester specifications:
Neck - .344
Throat - .310
Free Bore - .090

Awesome! That was the info I was looking for!
Thanks Jim!
I have the reamer print they use on the 308 they chamber if you still need it.. Matt
Thanks,
Jim answered the two things I really needed. Neck and freebore. These dimensions are saami spec.
I wished they offered tighter neck options like shillen does for winchester brass.
Yeah... .310 freebore, wow. Somehow I figured they'd be using something a *little* snugger, possibly approaching a 'match' chamber. Obviously what they use works, judging from reports, but it kinda cools my interest in one.
I agree. This is for an FTR rig. Looks like Shillen will be my choice. Out of curriousity, I am going to cast my factory savage palma rifle and see what it is chambered in those areas.
I'll save you the trouble:
.342-.343 neck, .3085 freebore. If it was an F/TR with the Obermeyer chamber, it'd be about 0.085" long freebore. Palma... don't recall, but I believe its less, like about 0.050" or so.
I dont know why I put down palma, guess I was thinking about the palma reamers I have been looking at.
It is a factory Savage 308 FT/R. I guesstimated between .075-.085 from my measurements. I shot some juggernauts today seated at 2.225 comparator length.somewhere around 2.230-2.232 I can feel the lands. They shot real well! I need about .010-.015 more to get the base out of the neck junction though .
