benchmark barrels, anyone have much info on them?
« on: January 12, 2012, 05:17:45 PM »
I tried looking them up on the internet withought much luck but i did see that they are out in arlington.

Im wanting to get some work done on my remington 700 300 win mag sometime in the future.

I only have around 400 factory rounds through it and it shoots sub moa at 100 yards, my next step is wanting a new scope and bedding the stock and or reolacing the stock and bedding it also.

Thanks for any info

Pretty good reviews on snipershide and longrangehunting.  I know he has some 6mm benchrest records with his barrels.

I know "landcbeitner" on here uses his barrels and is currently building a gun with Benchmark's help.

I have never used one of their barrels but I have had them chamber barrels, true actions and do several muzzle brakes for me. It has all been excellent work, fit and finish.

I had a barrel installed on my action by them, superb craftmanship and unbelievable accuracy, well worth my money!!  Crappy barn for a shop with cluttered tools and work everywhere but they definetly know what they are doing!

I have 2 Savage barrels made by Benchmark. My first was the 18" 338/375 Ruger barrel for the Striker. They also fit the muzzle brake on that one.  The gun shoots better than most small caliber rifles, and better than I ever expected a handgun throwing 250gr bullets at 2650fps to shoot. There were some set backs  and complications while having the barrel made, but they were all worked out in the end.

The second barrel is a 19" 6mm BR  for another Striker pistol. This one I had Benchmark send off to have Nitrided. Again, there were a couple complications on this project but they were all taken care of. I haven't shot this barrel that much because I just haven't had time. It shows the potential to be an honest .25" pistol though once I get a new scope on there. (The Weaver T36 seems to have called it quits on me)

They're good guys and they do good work. Not cheap, not fast, but top quality all the same. I'll probably have them make me another barrel at some point, but for now I'm trying out a couple other outfits.

There's this guy out at BP ...   You ought to see his shop. I have trouble not tripping over things.. Expensive things! But he knows where everything is, what it is used for, what changes he has in store, what tools to use, and how to use them.


I have heard nothing but good about Benchmark barrels and workmanship.

I've got a Remington 721 in 300 win mag that I can't get to shoot better than 1.25 at 100yards (factory ammo), that I was thinking of contacting Benchmark about. My uncle had the same action built in 280 rem stock(mercury) blue printed action etc. he is happy with the results. Keep me posted on what you find.
