One of the most accurate factory rifles you've probably never heard of.

Is this you Martin?

Yes,my friend.

Multi radial = multi ( more than one ) grooves , spiraling 360 deg , ( yes all the way around the entire interior surface ) and continuing to where it stops . ( usually at the end of the barrel , unless a muzzle brake is utilized)
Just another view of new words used to describe an old system .
just havin fun .

Thanks,for better a better description than I could come up with.

Ive read up , experimented with , test almost every available rifling , oval square , canted medford , gain twist etc almost all have benefits but for each benefit they usually have as many drawbacks. Barrel composition and temperature (size , exterior profile , shooting rate and type of auxiliary cooling )will increase barrel life .

For that price...it better shoot...lol

The price paid was $1050 yes, it's pricey.

Looks like a really nice factory rifle, but I can't even find a price on it, which means I probably won't ever be able to buy additional magazines or parts in the future.

The price I found.was.$2495 I think

Gunbroker has a bunch for sale. Many in the $1300 range.

Sabatti killed its reputation when they rushed though some of their double rifles by grinding muzzles as part of the regulation process. It really was too bad because they did make a very strong double rifle for about half the going rate for entry level doubles.

I have no doubt they can build an accurate bolt actions.

That's some impressive shooting for sure.

With regards to accurate factory rifles, the Tikka's I've owned are amazing, especially the varmint model shooting sub 1/2 moa with tailored reloads. Everything about them I found excellent. The triggers, extraction design, and smoothness of bolt. Even the stocks are adequate especially in the T3X models with the vertical pistol grip - also available as an after market modification for the lite models.

The other rifle I own that was unbelievable out of the box was the Weatherby Mark V, Super Varmint Master. Mine was a sub 1/4 moa with tailored reloads out of the box. But for $1,500 (2009 $) one might expect that level of performance.

The Browning A and X bolts I own are also amazingly accurate factory rifles out of the box, mine in the 1/2 moa range. If Timmey triggers were available for these models I believe I could cut those groups down to almost half of that.

Timney makes triggers for xbolt. I got mine 2 years ago. Way better than factory.

That was for a different model. The one that I have is the tactical U.S. model.

Thanks a bunch for the info - I'll check out their web sight. I had mine adjusted by a competent rifle smith and while it improved it quite a lot I'm still not happy with it so I'm definitely going to check out the Timmey option.

They have been available over here for some years, reports are about 50/50. Some shoots light out others never shoot

2 different grooves , reminds me of Springfield barrels . None of these grooves are ever identical. Similar yes , identical, never .

Hasn’t one of PacNor’s selling points through the years been a land and groove configuration with a distinct radius at the top and bottom of the lands and grooves?

Rounded land and grooves has been around since the black powder days . Im sure everything has been tried . Making them consistent , smooth and even will help accuracy , making it ( barrel ) out of good steel with a thought given to heat cycles while shooting will give loonger life than fast shooting with overbore cartridges. Nothing new .
