Smith suggestion for 30BR Barrel please

Ronnie Long in SC is definitely familiar with the 30BR. He is building very accurate rifles again, unfortunately he is getting pretty well back logged, someone must have a big mouth .I would definitely recommend at the very least a phone call to him. He has an absolute wealth of knowledge on the 30BR.

Ronnie has one for sale right now!
 
Alex Wheeler did my 30BR .332 neck. It's a Krieger barrel. Still in load development phase but it's the most accurate gun I've ever shot.

Also if you're in NY check out Hart barrels. They will supply the blank, which I think they make excellent barrels, and chamber said blank. Some others on here I've seen use Lilja barrels. Tons of great barrel makers out there though.

Edit: Barrel is 1-17 twist
Check out or talk to Zack Donovant of Old Dominion custom rifles. Great guy as well.
 
Sorry for the late reply guys. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Hopefully if someone like me is looking for barrel in the future they will find this thread.
I chose WSMNUT in the end. He was a pleasure to speak with on the phone.

Zack always delivers as he promises. He builds rifles that shoot like they are suppose to. He is second to none.
 
Did Alex provide the barrel? How long was the wait?
Contact Alex for a lead time. I believe he keeps some barrels on hand. He had Bartlein send the barrel to Alex.

My most recent purchase from another vendor was done in 6wks, 1-2 weeks ahead of schedule. Lead times seem to have gotten a little better recently.
