Are these accurate??

are their barrels accurate?

with a good builder a fist tier components how accurate are their carbon wrapped barrels?

Building an ultralight rifle, are these as accurate as the top barrel makers stuff?

I've got a Sendero light profile on my 300 WM and it is the most precise barrel I own. My last groups to finalize load development measured in the .1s MOA at 200 yards. I also own a 338 Sendero profile on my Lapua and regularly achieve 1 inch groups at 350 yards. The best feature of my Lapua barrel is that the first shot is always exactly where I need it to be, cold clean bore or fouled. I've got another one on an Edge that I haven't shot yet, but I'm expecting it will shoot at least 1/2 MOA.

There was another member reporting some pretty amazing groups as well. Something around 1/4 MOA out to 1000.

thanks for the info, I guess for $900 they better shoot good.

You can get the PR from Stocky's for $800 shipped. Another option is a Christensen blank for $620 shipped with a pre threaded muzzle. I haven't tested a Christensen for accuracy, though. I have plans for one and I have the blank, but I haven't made any moves with it yet.

thanks I have heard the PR is the best. I'm building an ultralight 6.5 creed, under 6lbs

I would highly recommend Proof barrel.. Do not own one yet but will...Have load developed 2 different ones and both shot really well..

300 WSM was a full custom Proof rifle
300 Norma Mag Imp. we had built

We have a customer who is building a 338 Lap imp on a 30" long 8" twist Proof. Can't wait to get it put together... Just waiting on Defiance Deviant action..

Defiance ROCK, sounds like a great rig

 

[HammerB1]

Defiance Actions are the only actions we have used for our builds and are SUPER HAPPY.. They are right here close and see no reason at this point to change..

 

[Buzzsaw]

are they usually easy to find in stock?

 

[HammerB1]

Yes the are. We have only bought one from someone else..(I don't remember who though) All the rest have been ordered. The last 2 we ordered were 10 months out. That was in July of 2016 so still have a few months to wait..

 

[Buzzsaw]

have you ever used their ultralight action?

 

[HammerB1]

We have not. Only used there Rebel and Deviant.

Another on to consider is the Lone Peak Ti. They are a nice, buttery smooth action suited for a lightweight build.
