Profiling barrel

[BradY]

Hi all

Wondering what your thoughts are on re profiling a cut rifled barrel before it gets chambered. I have access to a hv profile that is 1.25” diameter on the chamber end, but requires turning to 1.13” to fit to my action. Obviously it will only be the chamber end that sees re profiling.

Cheers

Ask your gunsmith what he thinks about it and if he’ll do it

I may get chastised for saying this but,oh well if you go to take breech down from 1.250 to 1.130 do it between centers you won't have any issues at all plus it will be true inside to outside what action are you working with.

Thanks guys. It’s a tikka t3 action. I have a 1.130” straight profile barrel on order currently but things are taking a while to get it to Aus. In the mean time I could use a HV contour that is already here.

I do this all the time for Tikka's and they shoot under 1/2 moa, i.e., no neg effect. None of the benchrest guys I work with shoot Tikka so keep that in mind. --jerry

Go for it , but changing the entire profile could get expensive .

Go for it you'll be just fine your definitely right on the money on breech OD we fit a lot of tikka actions.

If you're reducing .12, remember, that's just a .06 cut.
