Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats PacNor

Ok, I have a remington Mountain rifle from the late 80s. I am thinking about sending it in to Pacnor to be trued up and a new ss barrel. Who has used them for these services. Rifle is chambered in 270 and I will more than likely go back with 270 and order a Mcmillian Mtn rifle stock in the edge fill. If you have photos of your rifle would you please post them. Thanks.

I'd skip the truing and just have them screw on a 280 Remington mtn contour barrel.

I sent them my old Rem 600 in 223 and had them true it and lap the lugs before rebarreling to 6x45mm. I've been very happy with their work. I had it done 20 yrs ago though. I have been toying with rebarreling it to 20 Practical but went out and shot it with a new scope and bought another action for the 20 Practical as the 6x45mm PacNor shot so well I just can't change it..

I agree with 30338.

I have a Pacnor barrel in a 30-06.It shoots really well.I went with the SS Super Match barrel and had them install it.The total cost plus shipping was just under $700.At that time it was 8 weeks turn around,but I think it's a little longer time now.

I appreciate the input gentleman.

Had them rebarrel a Kimber to 6 creedmoor. No complaints and easy folks to deal with.

Pacnor is a great outfit to deal with, but you might want to give them a call to see what their current production timeframe is. Last I heard they were pretty much full up with work for the foreseeable future following their reopening.

I have ~ 5 pac nor barrels. I generally like them.

I quit truing actions on my hunting rifles 20 years ago.
If you want to get obsessive, buy better brass and load it straighter. You might get measurable measurable gains from that.

I have had them put together 5-6 rifles for me. Everyone was a great shooter. I think they are the best bang for the buck going. I did have everything trues on each rifle and the results were great. YMMV

Awesome!!! I appreciate yall.

If you stay with the .270 Win, you might consider a faster twist than the normal 1:10.
There’s more heavy/long high BC bullets coming out these days and you might as well take advantage of them....

I had them re-barrel my Remy 30.06 several years ago. I did not true the action. #3 contour fluted barrel. Consistent .75" moa shooter. I agree with previous posts, you will gain more accuracy with quality brass and reloading techniques than truing the action.

Yes sir I believe I will go with a faster twist just in case.

Had them do a mountain rifle chambered to 6.5x257AI, 8 twist, MR contour carried to 24" for a bit better balance. That was around 2005. Works quite nicely.

My thoughts are if you are having it rebarelled, why not have them true up the action, its generally not very expensive. I also concur with the 280 Remington caliber.

What procedure do you mean?

Pac Nor is a great company to deal with. Chris and his staff focus on quality and customer service.

Regarding action work...on a hunting gun you don't need to get too crazy. You definitely want to have the receiver face squared and make sure the lug is either surface ground perfectly flat or use an aftermarket one. Not all after market ones are what they're advertised to be as far as being flat. -Al

I suspect that's the "not very expensive" action truing referenced in the post I questioned.

I've built Pac Nor barrels for 20+ years

All heavy Savage pre fit...I screw 'em together

Never a bad one------GTG !
