I want to order a Pac-Nor prefit barrel for a small shank Savage in 6mmBR Norma.
Background;
After investigating for way to long. What I “think†I want turns out to be almost identical to the barrel on Gun of the Week #36. I sent Pac-Nor an E-mail, with Gun of the Week Link, asking if it could be that simple. No sense re-inventing the wheel. Reply was 1.055†barrel is the largest. Need to know what bullets range you intend to shoot.
Thinking Pac-Nor is trying to protect me from myself,probably a good thing). I ordered 100 Lapua cases and a Wilson seater. I plan on loading some dummy rounds, set to about the same OAL with a Sinclair comparator, and send them off to Pac-Nor.
Questions;
1. When you get a new prefit barrel from Pac-Nor do you receive any detailed information on the chamber?
2. Are all contours for Savage prefit barrels custom,+$35) because of shank dia.
3. Should I send the dummy rounds to PT&G instead and get a reamer made?
4. Buy different barrel,Hart,Krieger,Shilen, etc) and find a gunsmith to chamber, thread and crown?
What I “Think†I want;
Pac-Nor SMSS, 3 groove, 8T, #7 straight taper, .272 no-turn neck, 27â€, .065-.073 throat,as on a PT&G print)
I’m a little paranoid anymore. I really don’t want to go though another strange chambered rifle again! Sorry I got so long winded. Any information/input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Richard
