6mm creedmoor barrel opinions

[JohnJohnson]

Like some others, I went with a 18" 0.75" taperless steel Osprey prefit from PVA. I've done carbon before and it was a waste.

How heavy is it? Do they cerakote?

They do cerakote and I'm honestly not sure on the weight, @wind gypsy would probably know that better. I went with the 0.75" taperless because I'm hanging a suppressor off the end of it and PVA suggested that contour.

I’d get the 16” with the 5/8x24 threaded from @hereinaz

Love my PVA 6 creed….18”, 7 twist, .75 taperless. No flutes or cerakote, just bead blast and matte clear…

Just under 2.5# for a tikka prefit. M700 or others are a hair heavier due to 1/16” larger barrel tennons and 0.040” larger barrel shank.

24" PVA brux #4 in 6cm is 3lb 6oz. It shoots.

18” PBB hybrid lite. Shoots factory 103eldx and 108eldm well under 1”, reloads even better.
No drama on elk

It's a 6cm, get a quality blank, have a good a good smith cut the chamber and threads, accuracy will be there. #2 sporter steel will finish with enough shoulder for 5/8x24 threads at 18", 750 taperless is also a popular choice. I have a LS wild 20in prefit in Tikka hybrid lite on the womans rig, it shoots well enough. I also have 6 or 7 other 6cm barrels ranging from 18-26", these are all quality Blanka cut with an alpha SAAMI reamer by a top shelf gunsmith. Great accuracy and precision has been easily ahieved in all of them. This isn't a tough decision. If going steel get the lightest contour possible that'll leave you with enough meat for your supressor threads, that simple.

I have a 6 creed proof carbon prefit. It shoots amazing. 24” slings the 108’s at 3100

I want to put it into a Peak44 Bastion stock. They only have certain barrel channel dimensions

Nothing a little sandpaper wrapped around a socket on a long extension and chucked into a drill motor won’t solve ;-)

Personally I’d say get the right barrel (the one that suites your desires, lots of good suggestions so far) then make the stock fit to clear the barrel, easy mod to open up the channel.

That looks nice. What barrel channel did you get for the stock?

Looks like a rattle canned factory tikka lite stock to me. Probably opened the barrel channel a bit.

Exactly

Here ya go, waste $15 rather than $300 and have a better chance of getting a good barrel.

Fantastic! I have 3 CF barrels, they are really just a fad/ a style, I prefer steel barrels, which all those rifles will get steel barrels some day

If you do end up going with a Bastion, expect to hit the 90 day lead time they quote. Seems earlier this year people were getting them around the 2 month mark but I’m at 92 days and nothing shipped yet.

Patriot Valley Arms. Osprey prefit in 1/7.5 with the PVA standard freebore. They absolutely hammer. I've had two.

Also the prefits from LS Wild that are manufactured by Preferred Barrel Blanks have had great reports too, though I have no experience personally with them. They are definitely the affordable option.

How long did it take to get?
