Coues Sniper Report post Posted September 30, 2016 I have a 300 Norma from Western Precision with a PR barrel, and its very accurate. Balance of the rifle with carbon barrel is fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duckhunter175 Report post Posted October 5, 2016 I have a proof as well and have been extremely happy with it. I heard the same issue from a gunsmith about having issues with them indicating in on a lathe.... AFTER I had ordered. However, once it arrived there were no issues. Rifle Blueprinted Rem 700 7RUM Proof 26" Sendero Light, 1-9" APA Little Bastard McM Game Hunter Edge Fill 9.25lbs w/ scope Have only shot 30rds of 180gr HSM and it is 1/2moa at 200. I plan on handloading 175 ELDX, 180 VLDs and 195s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted October 5, 2016 I am so torn. I can get a very slightly used 7mm bore Proof barrel in 7/08 that I could rechamber to my liking for $300 plus chambering costs. The shooter said it was a 1/2" barrel, but he usually got a flier, making his groups 1". And the owner is a shooter. He thought it might have been a reloading issue however. For those with a Proof barrel, honestly, what kinds of groups do you consistently get? Not just the best group you have ever shot, but consistent? I have gotten sub-.1" groups with a few of my rifles, but consistently get .2-.3 with them, so that is how I call them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redman Report post Posted October 5, 2016 By no means am I guy in the know about guns, but I just got a rig with a Proof Reaearch barrel. After reading this thread I asked the previous owner about the barrel. He was very aware of the company and said he's owned many PR barrels ... More than I thought is possible...from when they where another comapay all the way to Gen 2. He knew a lot about the company detailing the spendels used - what they had invested into the manufacturing, etc. He specially said the 7mm was a barrel PR made too small and is now making the .0002 larger. PR was replacing 7MM barrels for those that completed their warranty card...I maybe incorrect of the measurement but I know the difference was "2". Hope that help in your question on the 7mm barrel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duckhunter175 Report post Posted October 6, 2016 I'll keep you updated. I won't be likely to shoot the 7RUM much this fall because of a busy hunt schedule here in KY, elk hunt in CO and then travels to TX and OK. I might take it to OK to stretch it out but it will be with the HSM factory ammo. Once I start getting some handloads tested hopefully we will see what it can do. No doubt it will shoot better than I. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
