My son has a SS Super Match Grade Pac-Nor Hunter weight barrel on a 700 that shoots phenomenally well. IIRC it is 5 groove, 9" twist, and in that little light rifle (faux Ti stock) it is never the weak link.

I just built a 25-284 on a Lilja barrel but cannot comment on how it shoots yet. PacNor has been outstanding for me in several different calibers and cartridges.

I have a Hart barreled Mauser in 25-06 also and it shoots more than good enough but not in the league of the 700.


Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
