Carbon six barrels any good?

[7mm-08 Freak]

I see a lot of Carbon six barrels being bought and sold on here. I am wanting to re barrel a Bolt gun with one in 7MM-08, 20" for a can for use in a blind and truck. Are they any good? I expect .5 MOA or better

@reubenski can elaborate

I have one on my hunting rifle, will be shooting it when the bipod comes in for it

For 0-800yd hunting purposes the 6-7 I have seen we're more than adequate. Have one on order for myself.

Does half inch at 300 yds work for your purposes?

This particular barrel is on a hunting rifle. I loaded 50 rounds and it lasted me for three or four years. This year I had to load another 50 rounds so I did a quick seating depth test before loading another 3 years worth of ammo.View attachment 7990542

How many rounds did your first barrel last? Why did you scrap it? Velocity swings or groups?

This is a 18" Carbonsix I bought on here used. Ran some 130s that I had loaded for my 18" Bartlein and some 140s that I had from a 28" Bartlein. The 130s are the first picture, the 140s the second. Not bad for ammo I had loaded, will probably do better with some load development. I haven't even checked distance to the lands yet. I have a 20" 6.5 PRC barrel that will go on another Tikka soon.

Thank you for all the replies.

Buy with confidence!

Call in and speak with Gene @ C6. He will answer all your questions and handle your order himself.

Have the barrel chambered and fitted to your action; feed it with appropriate ammo and shoot tight groups!

I have 3 and am planning on more!
