Thanks for jumping in Justin. I've built 3-4 of them and they're great guns and very solid off a tikka platform!

Thanks for that feedback (or should I say curse you! ;) ). Any idea how long his COAL is with something like that?


Anyone have experience feeding 300WSM from a LA tikka???

Pretty sure he's gotta single feed them even with the Wyatts extended box I installed on his Short action 700. I think he's jumped .030" and OAL is right at 3".

I have one of have barrels and really like it. I am going to buy another one for back up when I burn this one out. 28 nosler is kind of a hot rod. I am not expecting much more than 1200-1500 max.

Can you give me more a reference on barrel contours? Is #5 slightly smaller and then sendero?

Hell of an offer. Come on sliders..........let's get 20 dudes. I am in for one and I am sure elkhunter777 will be in for one as he is looking for a rock chuck rifle.

Thanks Mike!

So about how much wieght would you save with these carbon wrapped barrels. If I was looking at a number 5 contour 24 inches.

Over a factory #3, not much. It's a wash. But it won't open up group wise with higher shot strings. You start saving significant weight when you start comparing to #5 and bigger steel barrels

At this point between Facebook and here I'd guess we're at a dozen people comitted. Maybe 15 but I'm not counting all those interested as committed.
