Thanks for all the insight on Lawton and the SMK, like always a day late and a dollar short.Still building the CT but that's OK want to do it right the first time. Is there another good barrel out there for the CT at 32" and a 1-10 twist.
Thanks, </div></div>
I think the Brux folks have extremely fast turn arounds. ( it's a quality cut rifle barrel )It seems like I've heard somewhere that only a few weeks.... don't quote me on that however. My current barrel is a Brux and, after taking it out and shooting a few on Friday, I can't say enough good things about the quality of that barrel. My barrel, as I said before is a 1:10 twist.
I was shooting at 100yds just to see what was going to print well and what wasn't before going to the long range... well, to make a long story short... I had strong cross winds ( which I ignore for shooting 100yds ) and everything strung horizontal and the widest 5 shot group printed about .6" center to center with virtually no verticle in the group... actualy in the range of .2" verticle.
I'd still talk to Dave if I were you. If he has quality barrels and you don't want to wait... so what if your first barrel is a Lawton.... you're going to replace it anyway when it's shot out. Hell, I've got 30 down the tube and, I'm ordering this week so I'll have one on the shelf when I need to rebarrel.</div></div>
I would not suggest using a BRUX barrel!!! They sent me four barrels....3 out of the 4 barrels were bad. They were 375 CT barrels...3 of the 4 were over bore. I have only 1 barrel out of 4 that is actually at bore. I will be shooting it this week, and will post the results. I shot two of the 3 bad ones and they were not accurate. They have yet to replace my other bad barrel. </div></div>
I am very happy with my Bartilen barrel, but myself & a few others are waiting on the next ones, some of them where finished in October/November & they still haven't been shipped.....
Our importer is waiting for around 50 barrels....at least some of them are for them personally so I don't feel to bad about it but it is April & still no word.
Apparently they won't, don't, can't reply to emails, phone calls, faxes.
Quite a few very unhappy campers over on this side of the world over this...
I have the brass, dies, action, scope, chassis, reamer, rail etc to build a better 375 but no barrel......
