[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1702549, member: 307"] I have a 112BVSS, originally in .300WinMag, single shot, that I eventually shot the barrel out. In March I order a Pac-Nor, 28", 9T, 5L, S/S SM, Savage small shank, Varmint pre-fit and it arrived in April. Final tally, tax, shipping and barrel; $528.34 and does not include necessary (to me) Go gauge ($28.50 @ Northland Shooters Supply). I used a Witt Machine clamp on brake on the OEM barrel with a slip on recoil pad. These two items took recoil down to a very tolerable range. Even though it's a Varmint profile, it's not the same diameter as the OEM and I order another Witt Machine brake. Let me say, I didn't have any prior experience with Pac-Nor barrels but I will have future dealings with them. This is a great shooting barrel! I'm getting 2-3" groups from 600-1000yds. Anything closer is tighter, with 100yd groups @ .3 or better. This is with the 215gn Bergers and 212gn ELD-X's. I'm averaging 3070fps with the Hornady's. I just installed a Pachmayr recoil pad but haven't shot it with it on, yet. I also used the Ryan Mantha reamer in my chamber and that let me seat the 212/215gn bullets out a little farther. This helps A LOT and let's the .300WinMag walk the walk and talk the talk. (some on here with scoff at the Witt Machine brakes, don't believe it, fake news! :) ) [/QUOTE]
