apetrulis01 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Just as the title says; how are the Faxon Gunner barrels? Thanks, Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntenseImage Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Just did a 14.5 for our daughter ... 3 holes touching at 50yds when zeroing w factory 55s. Seems decent thus farSent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Donald Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I have an 18" GUNNER, shoots under 1 MOA and is pretty light. I bought a couple more Faxon barrels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I built a 14.5" for my oldest son. Never shot it for groups with a magnified optic but it often put 3 shots in 1/2" at 50 yards with my hoser 55gr loads when zeroing a red dot. Had some extraction issues, contacted Faxon after I dicked with it some, they had me send it back. They said it was a tight chamber and had a new barrel at my door a few days later, so CS is good. The new barrel shoots the same as the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoKimberDave Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I have an 18" rifle length Gunner. I do love it. The weight distribution is sweet and it swings really nicely. It's as accurate as the ammo I put through it. Pretty hard to beat for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are running a deal over at aerospace arms on all faxon barrels right now thats crazy cheap. A 16in gunner is $127 right now. Faxon has a promotional thing going on for the rest of the month so the prices are really good right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooter545 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I had read a good bit on the Net about these barrels, then stopped by their booth at SHOT; talked to Nathan and Patrick(great guys), that settled it I had to have one. I bought one of the 18" Gunner barrels to replace a 18" JP that the throat was gone in and have been quite pleased with it. I mounted a L&S MK4 4.5X14 on it. When I first got it I shot groups at 100 with MK262, factory Hornady 75gr BTHP( both shot about an 1") and my handholds with Hornady 75gr BTHP(just under an inch). I then let it completely cool, shot a 5 round group with my handloads(just under an inch), shot a 30 round field course, then another 5 round group. Second group opened up to about 1.25" and had a shift of about .6" to the 6 o'clock. I don't shoot 3 gun anymore but think that this barrel would do just fine. I love the way the gun handles with the barrel and the price was good. I am looking at there 18" heavy fluted to build another upper for shooting varmints around the farm. YMMV but I am happy with what I got from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
