Match Quality Barrels
Just geting back into shooting after a 25 year absence so after looking around I decided on the T3 Varmint .308 as a starter into the long range target shooting scene.
What I would like to know is who are the good barrel manufacturers for the T3 .308 as I would to eventually increase the barrel length from the 23 3/4″ to about 26″.

Hi welcome back , the T3 shoots so well you might not need to replace the barrel ,
-
Bartlein and Brux are very good.
Long Rifles Inc fitted mine and installed an integrated lug when they fitted the barrel
-
You won't find anyone that makes barrels “for” the T3, but any custom barrel can be made to fit.
I have a Krieger on mine that shoots extremely well.
-
We make barrels for the T3
;D

Jason,
What does it cost for a barrel and install?
-
You need to start offering the 6mms!
-
I have them but haven't put them on the site yet. We have 20 cal through 375 cal (for those 375 Ruger builds)
-
$549
You can check them out and our chambers at http://www.tikkaperformance.com
Wow it's costing me £720 for a 6.5 creedmoor barrel rifle , you need to move to England he he
-
are you able to do a 6.5BR

If you're going to re-barrel, look at the Bartlein 5R and the Lilja barrels. Might as well have the action tried and blueprinted while you're at it. The next custom rifle I have built will likely be built on a Tikka action. I've shot a couple with Bartlein and Lilja barrels and they were awesome!
-
Bartlein and Lilja barrels are excellent. Can't go wrong, accept they don't offer the correct profile for a Tikka.
Our barrel line came from the fact that customers were annoyed and the fact that we need to modify their barrel contours to make them fit.
After a barrel has been hand lapped, you don't want to modify the contour for fear of releasing internal stress and ruining the bore.
I don't have a 6.5BR reamer, but the 6.5x47L would be similar and have better ballistics.
-
I noticed you don't show 223 as well. Do you have that reamer?
-
I do. And a 223AI as well

Jason,
Does a straight taper give any added benifit over your varmint taper besides extra weight?
