Any experiences with Pac-Nor pre-threaded & chambered barrels?

Any use experiences at all are appreciated.

Many thanks,

I have used two of them. A stainless steel, fluted, 7mm STW on a Rem 700 and a chome moly 270Wby on a VZ-24 Mauser. Both are great shooters. Not benchrest accuracy, but sub MOA 3 shot groups with handloads using hunting bullets. I am considereing adding an 8mm Rem Mag built on a M70 Classic action to that list. I will probably go with a SS barrel since they seem to be less prone to copper fouling than CM barrels.

Just in case you are not aware, these pre-threaded and chambered barrels are not just screw in. They require some gunsmithing to set the headspace.

My gunsmith charged $100 for this service vs. his normal $250 - $300 to thread an chamber.

My 30.06 wears a fluted PacNor bbl and I like it just fine. The smith did a tight necked chambering and it is a very accurate rifle. The barrel exceeded my expectations.

I would not hesitate to purchase another PacNor bbl.

Unless you are real lucky you get what you pay for with prefit barrels.

I have a 9.3mm PacNor barrel that was gunsmith chambered for 9.3x62mm and placed in a ore war VZ-24 receiver. It shoots very very well!

I have a PAC-NOR in .204 Ruger on a SAKO action and it shoots sub-minute of prairiedog. I also have a 9.3 X 62 that I haven't shot yet, I'll let everyone know when it's done.
