I'm in for one if we can get to 20. I'd rather have a Rock Creek blank though.

We could work something out. I just had you send me a 5 port beast last week for the aforementioned 338 Norma.

I know, that's why I mentioned it. You probably got it today.

Any updates where we're up to?

im in the market for one or have been for a while i just keep spending money on new optics and more gear but I'm would be building a 338 norma. what contour do i need to get to the 3lb 8oz mark and will this contour work for the 338 norma? i have my components down to each weight and thats where my barrel would need to be.

Just weighed that 338 Norma barrel... 3 lbs 6 oz after chambering

I'm a maybe still, but thinking damn hard about it and also trying to figure out what I'd want to put together. Probably would go 30cal/10 twist if so. End of month the drop dead date? Is a rock creek 5R blank a feasibility per the above inquiry?

Rock creek will potentially take 6 months.... I just had 15 barrels ship last week that I ordered in December. Benchmark has always shot as good and are 6-8 weeks typically

Understandable. What rifling does benchmark usually do (I know its button) out of curiosity, I can't really find a reference. Not that I've heard anything negative, quite the contrary.

They do 6/5/3 groove... whatever I or the customer prefers. It's a lot easier to make a quality cut rifled barrel than a quality button barrel, but there's nothing about cut rifling that will make them shoot more accurate than a quality button barrel especially with hand lapping and stress relieving being considered.

I'm very interested. Had been thinking about a carbon barrel for my boring 700SPS and this might be too good to pass on. Maybe I shouldn't have opened this thread..

Jump on in.... the water is fine

And that SPS is the foundation of many a fine build....

That was at 28" without a brake. I've since cut it to 27" and spun up a monster 5 port brake on it and cerakoted it as well. Will weight it again now that it's all finished up.

How much truing work do you typically have to do on the rem actions, esp. their entry tier?
