If so, do they do a "long-throated" version or a "short-throated" version? I've had them do several barrels since they re-tooled, and they've all shot very well. Their short-coming is finding someone to answer a question like mine... whoever fields the phones for them isn't particualrly knowledgable! I'm contemplating making up a Roberts on a stainless Win 70 SA... $250 to rebarrel in stainless.
The prices went up!! Ok, here is what I would do. Get the $190 barrel, $75 for the prefit option. That makes, 190 + 75 = 265. Find a gun hobiest with a lathe. To fit a "prefit" you simply remove material from the shoulder until the headspace is correct. They have a LONG chamber. I have done several in my garage. It is not hard. Failing that get a gunsmith. I can't imagaine charging more than $100, maybe he would I don't know. It is less than one hour labor. Any way you slice it the Pac-Nor is a better barrel. I have found that I never regret purchasing quality. I do regret pinching pennies and later being dissappointed. The fact that Shaw can't answer your question should make you wary!
