When you refer to .257 are we talking chamber as in .257 Roberts or the bore?

Crap! If it were only a 10 twist.....

I already have one, but this would be a nice barrel for a lightweight build.

Sorry for the dumb azz question earlier. But it was not obvious to my old brain. I am trying to help the son in-law out with an older Mdl70 Featherweight that may need a a new barrel.
Thanks DD

Buy this one! i've got one in 250AI and another waiting to become a 25-284... Good price too... PacNor's prices have gone up quite a bit! this is 30 off with shipping to boot!

Morning bump... Yep, this is an unthreaded, unchambered barrel blank. The lightweight contour is one of PacNor's standards and McMillan can inlet for it. See PacNor Contours for details. The 9" twist was chosen so that ALL bullets would stabilize at .250 Savage velocities. Sometimes, but not always, the longer 115+ grain bullets are kinda iffy outa the Savage, especially the 115 TSX. This barrel and a McMillan Edge from Rick would make for a nice little ultralight stalking rifle. John

thismortalcoil,
Yeah, I just finished a .260 Rem with PacNor #1 and Edge Compact. It is just about perfect and kinda took the shine off the .250AI I was planning. You're gonna love it.

You said it was stainless but it "looks" blued to me.

It's stainless alright. Here's the confirmation from PacNor: Thanks, John, for another order: 1) 25 9T5L SS Light Weight Sporter Contour, 22" finish. We still have a rather long lead time: 7-8 weeks. Regards, Penny
