Ragged Hole Barrels

Anyone care to share their experience with this company? Wilson barrels are good varmint/hunting barrels and the price is right.

@urbanrifleman may be the better avenue on those Wilson barrels now.

SELLING Thread 'Urbanrifleman Barrel Testimonials'

Mar 22, 2021

Hunter Reed sent me this:

"Hey man I spoke with you a few week back about doing a 6BR rem/age build with one of your barrels. Well I got the barrel in and put the gun together and just wanted to send you some 3 shot group pics and tell you how pleased I am with the barrel! I put this gun together on a bone stock 700 action and all groups were shot with factory Lapua 90gr scenar ammo at 100 yards off bags in less than ideal conditions. The barrel only has 15 shots out of it and isn’t truly broken in yet. Feel free to use my pics and testimony for any doubters!"

It looks like urbanrifleman has a more extensive selection

 

[ChrisA]

Anything more than a half dozen barrels in 9.3 and 45 cal is a "more extensive" selection than RHB right now.

I ordered a 25-06AI Remage barrel from them (RHB) several years ago. It shoots fantastic. Furthest I have tested it was 800 yards and if I recall correctly around 1/2 moa shooting a Barnes TSX 100gr at 3550fps. It has killed all sorts of varmints and medium game. I haven't been nice to it other than fire forming I don't think I have shot a bullet under 3300fps, lately when it comes out I'm shooting 87gr at 3900 or so and it's still going strong.....7-800 rounds in probably

Who did the chambering, threading, crowning?

 

[Leadfarmer]

I ordered a barrel from them about a year or so ago. Called to place my order. Super nice guys over there, and the barrel arrived quick. Borescoped it and it looked very good.

The barrel on my 7TCU bolt gun is a Remage barrel from RHB. It shoots great.

If Urbanrifleman offers the chamber you want, I would go with his just based on his rep here, but if not, getting it directly from RHB should get you what you want.

 

[JB10]

I have 2 wilson barrels and have no complaints. These rifles were built for varmint/preditor hunting. So i worked up loads and stopped when i found the first good combo good enough for what i wanted them for.

They seem to be a great company and their barrels are quite good. They do have a much bigger inventory and reamer selection than I have. I'm not sure their lead times

 

[mike mccormick]

I have ordered several blanks from them. Always excellent service

If he sold a blank maybe but the last time I checked he would not sell a blank.

 

[David Conder]

I believe those barrels were used by cooper rifle co I have a cooper in 223 it shoots like a bench gun

I figure there is lots of business for all of us.

Any such barrel as a Wilson #3 ?

 

[FNSafari]

I've had more than a few "ragged hole" barrels, but getting the bullet on the dot is a whole different matter, as in reading the wind successfully over five 5-shot targets. Hummers on the other hand, just two in over 35 years of score shooting. The difference? Well, hard to explain but those two barrels would just shoot where pointed even in a 10 to 2 o'clock 3mph or less wind. Best I can do to explain.

Wilsons shoot.
