I'm wondering has anyone out here used a Schneider Barrel and if so what do they think of it. I'm building a .264 this spring and was told about these barrels and now I'm wondering what others think? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

I used one of Garys bbls. ( 308 x 14 twist) on my IBS hunter gun to set 2 records. My wife used one of his 6mm x 14 twist bbls. to become the only woman to be IBS shooter of the year. The US Secret Service uses his bbls. on their JAR rifles as well as the M40. I have heard that the USMC uses his bbls. as well.

338fan.I have a Schneider on a 300wm, shoots and cleans very well.

I have two in 308. Both Ploygonal 5R barrels. THey are tack drivers and they clean with one patch. I am about to order another one for a 6.5 SAUM.

Thanks guys for the feedback that's what I wanted to hear! After reading your responses I'm glad I'm going with a Schneider barrel for my new .264 Win Mag. Thanks Again! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Hey man !

I am using Schneider bbl on my .243 AI . It just about refuses to copper foul after the initial break-in, so cleaning is a simple chore.

Course the best part is that it shoots ragged one holers . I realize that the bbl is only one part of that equation , however ,if the bbl is not up to job it doesn't matter if all the rest is .

Bottom line for me is they are great bbls, even though my personal experience is limited I have looked at a lot of evidence from reputable sources that say the same.

I like the easy cleaning that I'm hearing about so I need to ask about break in what did you fellows do for break in?
