Custom Barrel Mfg's

[Jeff A]

I am fortunate to own aftermarket barrels from several manufacturers. We are lucky to have so many great choices these days.

Hawk Hill Custom is in Verona VA. I have an 8 twist 6.5 blank that I picked up there a month or so ago. Nice people, got to tour the shop and watched them lap my blank.

My smith buddies predator rifle in .223AI has a Hawk Hill barrel on it and he is happy
with it.

I will give some feedback whenever the 6.5 Creedmoor project is completed. (gas gun)

Why is it that there are so many barrel makers in Wisconsin? Something in the water

Boils down to the quality-minded German immigrants that settled the area. Krauts are famous machiners.

Yes there are lots of Germans making barrels here in Wi. I'm not positive on this, but I think that goes back to Boots Obermeyer. A very competitive shooter making barrels. I've heard that some of the others branched off after learning from Boots. Criterion was a branch of Kreiger that split off. Employees from most of them all compete with us at Lodi. They all make great barrels!
