Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Ordering A New Barrel

Once I had a factory Remington VLS 308 win.It would shoot a 5 shot 200yds one hole group week after week for a couple of months straight.When the barrel finally shot out I had it rebarreled.The smith rebarrelling it said the whole action was crooked and nothing was square.He said he fixed it for me.He installed the Krieger but the rifle never shot anywhere near to what it shot before.

neither.....I do it all myself.

That would be the best way,IMO.Do you think a smith really cares about your rifle? I don'r especially nowadays.

Here is a 50ydstarget I shot this morning off the bench with the Lott I shoot cast with and my CZ-Lilja 22lr-with the red dot sight.I am happy to see the Lilja barrel shoots great.I shot three or four rds then adjusted down the height.

My new chrome moly 458 Douglas barrel arrived.This will go on my CZ 550.It measures .73 at the muzzle,.82 at the middle, 1.2 at the breech and is 27 inches long but will be cut to 24 or 25.It has a 1-14 twist.

What was wrong with the old one?

The rifling eroded.
