A low cost 6BR

Savage Action-410$; Pre-fit pac nor barrel-435$; Stock-200$; Fit stock-200$; Trigger-acutrigger @ no cost, better-150$. WOW. I checked pac nor web, but nothing said about the built to spec reamer editor/Kiff developed for 6BR. Just what I was looking for

I got a rem700 @ WM recently for a build. I may have to rethink this project : How much would a smith charge to chamber/fit a barrel, maybe $300 (if he had the right reamer on hand)?

I would get a prefitfor the rem700 pac-nor does a barrel nut along with CBI and McGowen and many others. It will cut the cost of the rifle

I must be looking at the wrong places. All I can find is short-chambered barrels which I would have to buy a reamer and finish myself (or a gunsmith). The pre-fits are chambered with whatever reamer they have on hand, not what I want. Pac Nor doesn't show any fully chambered barrels, just short chambered. The other barrel makers as well. The unique thing about the article is that Pac Nor chambered and fit a barrel to his Savage action, with a "proper" reamer. They do show .262"nd chambers for 6br, but no .272"nd.

Do you have a link for any barrel makers that advertises fully chambered barrels, such as mentioned in the article? Rem or Savage? I must be missing something???

McGowen is one i look at CBI Barrels, Pac-Nor, Shilen, Benchmark,Lilja is doing prefits now. I honestly feel that MeGowen and CBI barrels are the best at around 300$

Call each of the companies and see what they will do that how i go about your chamber questions.

Thanks a bunch. Short chambered, pre-fit, drop-in. Their reamer, my reamer. Send action? Rem, Savage, Marlin? Barrel nut, no nut, Gunsmith finish, I finish. Seems I need to do a bunch of dialing to get the particulars.

Whoa!

Call them, you will find you can get what you want. I just ordered my 3rd Savage pre-fit. They come complete, ready to screw on.

I would lean towards mcgowen as I have 3 of their barrels along with shilens,criterions and er shaws ,hart, etc.But for the money the mcgowens shoot better than my new shilens. Sooooooo,call jim briggs and if you leave him a message,he will get back to you within 24 hours usually.He has all the tools you need at very fair prices.He is a stand up guy.Another fella is Kevin Rayhill of stockade stocks,he is good to go and a one stop shop except the tools.I have a couple of his stocks and he basically makes all his stocks for savages and he will inlet and bed for several others.I love his bolt handles and lift kit which I believe require's a custom washer under the big screw holding the bolt together or removing .135 thou from the screw end.It makes the bolt cycle very smooth.His price's are quite fair.
