Bartlein Barrel — Short Wait

I ordered a 30 cal sporter from bartlein in February and still haven't got it. Maybe ill need to call and ask about it.
Likely depends more on what they're tooled up for and running at the moment
They are sort of a high volume outfit
------------
I know it was this way with one barrel maker I used to use, wait was dependent upon what caliber he was going to make a run of that period of time.
 
Really, a lot of hunters should be buying comp shooters take off barrels! Normally are great deals and will still outshoot factory barrels.
Those hunters better have strong arms and shoulders! The bores are surely good enough but the profiles sound like hunting torture.

I might sink in and order a barrel or two now. Been keeping my feet out of that Hokey Pokey for a while now.
 
This was for a 25 cal. HV 28 inch. gain twist.
Not an off the shelf order.
Must have ordered it as they were about to make a run of 25 cals.
Bartlein and Krieger are both quoting 4 months now.
 
Remember barrel 450.00
chambering 300-400
approx 850.00
doesn't include wait time 3-6 months or more.

New rifle 800.oo-1200.00 factory or less,
Choice is yours
Yep. Last year I was considering ordering a barrel just to have a spare. I did the math you did above. Bought myself a Tikka T3 for less than $800 out the door. It is a well made rifle that shoots very well.

My New 6.5 Creed., Tikka T-3X will "Clover Leaf" 3, 130 gr eld-M's @ 100 yds,.. SCARY "Accurate" !
I ain't Buying, many Barrels with, Tikka's being,.. SO, Cheap !
However I will buy, replacement Rem-Age Barrels for my 2, Rem 700 Short actions, as Needed from, NSS
at, $350 each and I can, install / Headspace them, myself.
If, Tikka ever makes, a 1-12 Twist, .22-250 or .22 GT, I'd buy One !
