Montana Rifleman barrel ?
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with their barrels. I am looking to buy one because the wait is nowhere near that of a lilja. This is going to be for a 358 norma hunting rifle, not a target rifle. The only thing that bothers me about their barrels is that on all of their action, people are putting other manufacturer's barrels on them. So please if anyone has any experience with them I would greatly apprediate it. Thank you

I got a 220 Swift barreled action from them. Ordered it with a 1 in 12 twist. I'm getting one hole groups with it.
Best group so far is 3/4 inch at 300 yards. A gunsmith that I know says they make pretty good barrels.

I've got one on my 300 ultra it shoots 1 moa or better, shoots pretty much what you stick in it. Would not hesitate to buy an other from them. I think they make a good barrel. Price is right also. The thing I liked was that for common cals they pretty much have them in stock or at least they did in the past.

I have one of their 9.3 barrels in my custom Mauser. It is the most accurate rifle I own, and I have a couple of real shooters. I recently shot a 300 yd 3 shot group that you could totally cover with a quarter, maybe a nickel. It is tight. According to my 'smith they are nice to work with too. Mine came already "short" chambered, and ready for final fitting. Ku-dude
