Little dramatic 257? 😆. I believe I have bought at least four rifles from you and all had button rifles barrels. Of course .... maybe that’s why you sold them. Hahaha. That NULA 250AI is sure a favorite. Haven’t warmed up to the 6AI at all or the 25-284 much though. One day hopefully I will get caught up and use ALL my stuff. LOL. Maybe.......

Owning proof barrels as well as steel I am not sure how you check the temp on them. Valid question in my eyes. Mine get warm exterior but not hot. I have had two duds out five with proof. I am on pause with them currently and back to steel. Still building with proof but many don’t shoot enough to notice barrel behavior. No customer complaints to date just my personal one. Go figure. Bad luck maybe. One bad barrel is 7-08 1-9 a sendero chambered and gun smithed by Proof. Other is a 280AI sendero light. Smithed by kampfeld. Doubt the Smith was a problem in either. Point of impact shifts are the problem I am seeing as well as vertical stringing. These are hunting rifles with short shot strings and low use. Noticed during load development and verify dope. Appear great shooting a cold bore threee shot group from the bench. 2 out of 5 bad isn't a good ratio. Have you contacted Proof to see if they will do anything about it??

As a point of reference, I’ve had the one I shot this past season so hot you couldn’t pick it up by the barrel, many times.

Yes they were good to deal with on resolving the matter. Both barrels were replaced in the end

Black oxide will really set these babies off.
Best brakes on the market period.

Plus the new ones are going to be like above or black oxide. No more Cerakote it burns off around the holes.
What caliber do you want I can get some cheap.

I am going to hunt high country with the loudener on my Ridgeline. Turns the 270 into a 243. Still figuring out hearing protection.
