Is this the right barrel for your build?

This is a fast twist, best suited to the heavier, longer, high-BC bullets favored for competition and long-range work. The contour balances weight and stiffness for a steady, consistent hold. The carbon-fiber wrap sheds weight while keeping the stiffness of a heavier profile and dissipating heat well — popular for PRS and mountain builds where weight matters.

What a barrel blank is

A barrel blank is finished to your spec: your gunsmith cuts it to length, chambers it, threads the tenon to your action, and crowns the muzzle. Cutting a blank to length doesn't change its twist rate, so order for the finished length and profile your build calls for.

Keep it shooting

We recommend pairing your barrel with the ThorroClean Bore Cleaning System — fast, odorless bore cleaning that helps protect accuracy and keep the bore in top condition.
