Here's the link to the 6mmBR website story on the young shooter our shop sponsors: Kelly Bachand Did I say I love my job? flaco | ||

Flaco ,why do you use true flite barrels when there are so many top notch barrel makers in the US...or do you live in New Zealand ? It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack; not rationality. | |||

We have shops in Zephyr Cove, NV--Lake Tahoe--and Santa Barbara, CA, where I am. One of the advantages we have over other shops is that we keep a large inventory of barrels, ergo, no three to four month wait time. This True-Flite barrel had been in inventory for at least two years. Most recently, we're using Bartleins exclusively. If it's any consolation, darwinmauser, the stock is from Australia, by Phil Mastin. It's no accident that a Barnard action won: Ballistician and Berger Bullets consultant Brian Litz won the Spirit of America match at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton at just about the same time, shooting a Barnard. And, obviously, the True-Flite was good enough to win in Canada. flaco | |||

This may be a stupid question, but what was the twist rate for that barrel? Larry "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history, when everybody stands around reloading" -- Thomas Jefferson | |||

I don't need any consoling Flaco but thanks anyway , I was just curious as to why a New Zealand barrel as opposed to a local one, that you had it in stock is reason enough.  It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack; not rationality. | |||

Larry, Since International Palma and Fullbore matches are limited to the 7.62 NATO cartridge with a bullet not to exceed 156 grains, most barrels are 1 turn in 13 inches. But with the newer and longer 155 grain bullets some are opting to go with the 12 twist barrels. I think that the .223 with an 80 grain bullet is also now legal for use in International fullbore, but the .308 is far and away the most popular.

Thanks, Blair, for your twist explanation. The barrel on this rifle has a 1:13 twist. Kelly said Sierra made special bullets for his team, but I don't know the particulars. darwinmauser... it's not entirely correct to say that we use Bartlein barrels exclusively; we still have many True-Flites in stock. Thanks, airgun1. We also sponsor the California Grizzlies. Note their great success at Camp Perry despite being prevented from practicing with regulation ARs in California. Many believe the Warner #2 to be the sight by which all others are judged, shootaway. Alan Warner posts on this site. Judiciously. RBD | |||
