Has anyone had Krieger install a barrel and if so what did you think?

I am contemplating having a pre 64 Winchester sent to them, for a 280 Rem.

Thoughts, comments, ctiticisms?

I had a Win 1895 converted to 405 when Kreiger first started to do them. Very pleased with the work.

I have a pre64 M70 with a Krieger SS bbl in 338 Win Mag.

Rifle shoots 2" groups at 300 yards ... more than acceptable.

This weekend I fired one round to check impact point before hitting the field, and one round to kill the piggie. Can't ask for more.

i have a kreiger barrel on a magnum research mountain eagel in 280 rem.. .63" at 100 yds..

I have one on an Ar-15 which will shoot to 3 tenths when I do my part, and one on an AR-10 which will generally do under a half inch.

I'm very satisfied with mine...a 264 barrel installed on a M70..

I just had my first one put on a Remington 700 in 308 Winchester. #4 Sporter contour, stainles steel. Only about 50 rounds through it but all groups are less than an inch, most around 1/2 to 3/4 at 100 yards with hunting bullets. Still tweaking loads but I'm really impressed and think its worth it. It is the smoothest barrel I've ever seen, patches just glide through, and no copper fouling to speak of.

Let us know how your .280 works. I have a Remington long action sitting around that could use a .280 tube.

Guys,

I know Krieger tubes are top drawer what I wanted to know if anyone has used their services and actually had Krieger fit a barrel.

Thanks for responses!!!!!!!!!

Hello,
Yes, have had them do the entire project and workmanship is highest quality. Time is extended, but am sure that will vary with time of year. Figure they are quite busy now for the match shooting season is about to begin and everyone wanting their work done NOW!!.

I'm having my third rifle rebarreled by Krieger as we speak. They do as good a job installing barrels as they do making them. It takes around 14 weeks right now but well worth the wait in my opinion.

Thanks thats what I wanted to know.

schromf:
I've only had 1 barrel ever replaced on a rifle and that was a Ruger .257 Roberts that I wanted redone to .257 Imp. Kreiger did the rebarreling, chambering & blueprinted the action. With a Canjar set trigger & glass bedding, voila - under 0.40" at 100 yds. with a Hornaday 75 gr. v-max. I'm very satisfied & think that Krieger is the last & only name in barrels.
BTW, if you look at the competition results in various magazines, you see Krieger barrels right up there. Bear in Fairbanks

I used to use them before I switched to Lother Walther and I liked them very much....

I have two Krieger barrels on my Searcy double rifle in .470 and it won the double rifle national championship this year, that speaks pretty well for them.
