    McGowen vs X-Caliber

    I'm rebarreling my rifle after I accidentally damaged the rifling substantially. It's a Mossberg Patriot. Since it's a budget rifle and my first rebarrel, I'm going with a budget barrel brand. I'm looking at X-Caliber and McGowen right now. Which would you choose? They're within $30 of each...

    Tikka pre-fit headspace, Go/No-go

    I recently replaced a Tikka T3X .300WM sporter barrel with a factory take-off barrel that was threaded so I could shoot suppressed. Upon checking the headspace, the bolt closed on a go-gauge, but also closed on a no-go gauge. However, upon adding a piece of scotch tape (roughly another .002") to...

    How Much Barrel Do I Have Left?

    Just trying to plan out my path forward in this shooting endeavor. My 6.5 CM with 24” Benchmark #5 contour barrel has just crossed the 1400 round count mark. I shoot about 40 rounds a week AND one to two rounds during hunting season, depending on how steady I can get. I have accumulated the...

    Important life decision.

    I'm just getting into Long Range. I have been using a .308 but I'm putting together a purpose built rifle in 264 Win Mag or 26 Nosler. What I'm contemplating is is who to buy the barrel from. I could get an E.R. Shaw barrel and install it myself or I go with a Krieger or Lilja blank and have...

    Fluted Bartlein vs Proof Research sendero contours

    What would you do? Building a backpacking hunting rifle/general long range but ok with it not being CRAZY light since I’d rather pack a little weight than a mule that’s going to beat me up. 26 inch barrel I’m thinking a fluted bartlein sendero contour is going to run around 3.8-4 pounds since...

    Carbon fibre barrel benefits?

    I’m trying to wrap my head around carbon fibre barrels. I think they look awesome and may offer cooling properties along with weight reduction. What I’m wondering is, What’s stiffer: A 4lb carbon fibre barrel? Or a 4lb steel barrel? I’m hoping some gunsmiths with experience can shed light on...
