Title: Compliments to Benchmark Barrels
Post by: Quicksilver on December 12, 2012, 09:25:15 PM: Just wanted to say thanks to Benchmark Barrels on the muzzle brake they installed on my tikka t3 .300wm. it was sand blasted to matte the stainless and matches the color/texture of my barrel perfectly. install is top notch and looks factory. and best of all while paired with a limbsaver recoil pad my rifle shoots like a .308 now! if you guys are debating getting one i'd highly recommend getting one installed by Benchmark. my brother had one on his .300wm, and swapped it out for Benchmark's model and noticed a night and day difference. their brakes are very effective! i'm very happy with the product and won't hesitate to return!

I would highly suggest them. They are working one up for me right now and have been a pleasure to work with. I would give them a call if you are wanting a custom.

Post by: yorketransport on February 17, 2014, 08:33:56 PM: I wish you guys would all stop talking about how great Benchmark is. Every time I place an order it takes a little longer to get anything done. If everyone would just keep their mouths shut nobody would know about them and the wait times would go down! :chuckle:

I have to say that there's something special about Benchmark's 338 barrels. Not only do they shoot extremely well, they're fast barrels too! I have one and I've played with a few others and they're all excellent.

Yup, she's a Griffon. I love that dog! :tup:

You can't go wrong with Benchmark. I'm going to bring one of my Benchmark barrels in to a smith up in Tacoma so he can take a look at it. He had never heard them until I started babbling about how great they are. Now he want's to give it full once over.

Post by: TVHunts on February 21, 2014, 09:26:43 PM: Another happy Benchmark customer here. I have a 260 Rem and 338 WM they did and very happy with both. Had their muzzle brake put on a 300 ultra mag and it tamed it to a 270 or so in felt recoil. Nice guys too.
