SOLD/EXPIRED Proof Research 6.5CM Shouldered Prefit Barrel for TL3/SR3 26" 1:8 Twist

Nice barrel - Proofs always shoot great! That picture with the lands& groves is "Hypnotizing" me. I can see the bullet hitting after leaving the barrel. Why would you want to sell?
Thanks much
Merry Christmas!

Sort of a long story, this was part of my "dream build" PRS style rifle that I built off the TL3 action and my first custom build. It is the rifle that is pictured in my profile picture. Ran it with a MPA chassis and Vortex Razor HD so it was super heavy but shot absolutely brilliantly both from 100 yards to over a thousand with factory Hornady 147 ELDM loads. I liked it so much I bought an Origin and built another 6.5CM with a Manners EH1 and a Razor LHT as a handy coyote, deer, and black bear rifle. Problem is, now I carry the Origin everywhere for hunting because I prefer the weight and ergonomics. The TL3 had just been collecting dust due to the price and availability of ammunition plus the fact that I have no desire to shoot competitively and it being too cumbersome to do much else with. Decided to give it a face lift and fill the current gap in my collection by changing it over to a 300WSM and dropping it into another EH1. That gives me the feel and ergonomics of the Origin build, while filling a different role in my collection as a hunting rifle which I will hopefully actually use. I am left with this awesome barrel but no action for it, no future builds planned, and not a lot of space to store it. Figured I would sell it to offset some of the cost of the 300WSM barrel I bought on Black Friday.

Hopefully that wasn't too long winded.

Merry Christmas to you as well!

Awesome and know all too much about your story. This is a great barrel and would like to get it but nothing to fit it on and we basically turn and chamber our own barrels. This should sell FAST!!!

Haha, I thought it would move a little faster than it has. Figure after Christmas more people will be looking.
