troupe Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Just completed a Rem 700 build in 6.5 Creedmoor. Brownells had advertised a M24 barrel made for Brownells by Satern barrels and it came pre-threaded for the 700 action, short chambered, and threaded 5/8x24 at the muzzle. Price was good on the barrel and I already had a Satern on my 3 Gun AR, and it shoots great. So I thought that I would take the chance. The barrel was installed on a blueprinted action, bedded in a Bell and Carlson competition stock. Had a Jewell trigger in it. Running a Gemtech on the end. First range session, got the Leupold 6.5 x 20 on target with a few clicks, and with the barrel not even broke in, my first group at 100 with Factory Hornady 120 gr. A-Max Match ammo left me with a .157, 3 shot group. My shooting partner wanted 3 shots and he shot a .208. Now the rifle did not care for the Hornady 129 SST Superformance. This load shot great in my Ruger American, so I thought that I would try a few rounds since I had it. The barrels sold out very fast, but I can't say enough about the quality of this Satern barrel. If you are considering a build anytime soon, try and get one. The M24 contour is heavy, but it is worth it. Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troupe Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks, I am not regretting the purchase one bit. It is a heavy barrel, but a true M24 contour. I have not had the time to get out with it , but will soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
