Barrel help!!!!

[elkslayer069]

I'm trying to put together a 7mm stw 30" flutted barrel 1-9 twist something like a light Palma or sendero contour on a model 70. So here's my problem I can't seem to find a maker that could ship me a barrel in the next 4-6 months that is to my specs. I could have the length and twist that I want delivered to me next week but it won't be contoured or flutted is there somewhere a guy could have to contour and fluting done on the west side or even down in Oregon.

Thank any help appreciated.

The same guy that is going to fit and chamber your barrel should be able to do the contour and fluting.

Try broughton  barrels, last 2 I've ordered were 3 months iirc. Tim does straight and spiral fluting.

Caleb, Try Firemaster up in Cinebar. Hes on the way to Ike Kinswa. But at the wye where you drop down towards the lake go straight like your going to Bear canyon hiway. Hes just a ways past the wye on the left. I heard that a guy I work with is doing some machinist work out there now. Hes a dang good machinist too! Its worth a try.

Kampfeld does some amazing metal work, about as close to perfection as a smith can get. He can work a Remington 700 action like no other I have used.

One of my Rem 700's worked over by Kampfeld.

Call broughton,give him your specs, you'll have it in under 3 months find a smith fit and chamber... Or run up to Arlington and drop it off at benchmark... pretty easy, just gotta Dec I decided what route Ya wanna go

Kampfeld does great work, but do yourself a favor and have the barrel manufacturer flute the barrel.  This way you are guaranteed there won't be any issues with bore dimension or induced stress.  If you want an unfluted barrel, I think I have a med palma that will finish out at 29".

Kampfeld will flute it. I and others I know have had premium barrels fluted after the fact. Even after shooting the rifle for several years before having them fluted and accuracy has never changed and we have never had any issues with having someone else flute a barrel.

You might want to check here for premium barrels on hand see if you can find one you like fluted or have it fluted after the fact.

This is where I purchase my barrels without having the wait. They get barrels in regularly, so keep checking back or give them a call. Hard to beat the prices also for on hand barrels.

Cool wildcat! Take a look at some of the heavy Matrix VLD bullets.

Cool, that's an awesome round. Simpson knew what he was doing when he designed that round! What barrel did you go with? You should have a flat shooter when done with slightly longer barrel life then the 26 Nosler or any of the Wildcats based on the ultra mag cases!
