How is the recoil? I thought about turning my 300 Norma Imp into a 338 Norma and I would like to use a Proof barrel.

I dont think recoil would be any much different than what you have now

Proof barrels have been done on many different barrels as in the liner

Very nice Shooter! Where are you currently on weight as shown?

I actually tried to weigh it on my scale but it would it wouldn't register on the scale. I have to try a different scale.

My dad has built a 28 Nolser from a proof barrel I gave him and he loves it. He put a trued Remington action on it and a MDT chassis. He loved it so much he has ordered 2 more barrels from them. He says he has never had a rifle so easy to build loads for and shoot so good with so little work.

Last year I was at gunwerks shooting school and talking to them they said proof barrels are what they build their rifles with. And I would imagine these guys are pretty picky on which barrels they use

If their is one draw back with them it's wait times
