Yes, just use a thread protector and the Harrell can clamp over it

hi
what I have seen is clamp on equals rimfire rifles,
thread on equals centerfire rifles
but might be a exception out there.
I would say it has more to do with ease of use. No need to get a barrel threaded just to add a tuner for rimfire. You can then also take it off without having to have thread protectors and indexing could be an issue to get the zero point on center/top.
The hole size also starts at about 3/4" so it would have to be a pretty large thread, not a standard 5/8-24 you see on most brakes, etc. Or you would have to see if you could get someone to make one with a much smaller hole to start.

You are welcome, I think with a rim fire barrel a lot of them depend on the slugged finished length as most smiths look for the tight spot to crown at. so by turning down and threading you may loose that tight spot and possible accuracy.

Is this a Vudoo? I know of a shooter who is currently using a Harrell and it is clamped over a thread protector on a 20" barrel which is on a Vudoo. he is running some test with a light weight tuner and getting some pretty good results, from what he tells me.

There is a shooter at the club I shoot at that has a clamp on Harrell on his 6 PPC first time I saw the rifle I thought it was a rim fire

What kind of accuracy are you seeing now? Do you know what barrel brand you have? Just curious.
I see Harrels makes a screw on tuner brake, no idea what that would do??? They do come in 1/2-28.
I wondered exactly the same thing regarding threading a barrel and screwing on a tuner. I was told by a benchrest shooter that threading a barrel will cause a discontinuity in the barrel with respect to tension and adversely affect the barrel harmonics which in turn with diminish the intrinsic accuracy of the barrel. He told me you will never see a competitive benchrest shooter thread a barrel. I don't know anything about benchrest but the person I spoke with holds numerous records so I have no reason to doubt him.

I have a Vudoo that has a 20" Kukri barrel on it and added a Harrells tuner. I bought the rifle with a threaded barrel so that if I ever wanted to put a suppressor on it, it would be set to go. When I bought the tuner, I had Harrells send a piece that was bored out to the proper size and threaded to go on the barrel. Then I took it to a machinist near here where for $20 they cut it down and sized it to the proper outer diameter for the tuner to go right over it. No Problems.
