Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats custom barrel in a week

just received my lilja barrel I ordered last Wednesday from there website...
this is the second time with the same results I have used lilja without a wait time...
just passing it along for others that may be looking

My last 2 Lilja's were a .224 1-7 and a .257 1-10 Mountain rifle and both shoot better than I can hold them. Quick turn around on a good barrel.

I used Liljas on my last two builds. A #2 contour on a 338Fed and Rem Sporter on a 223 (1/7). Both shoot great. My gunsmith had not used them before but were available so I thought I would give Lilja a try. No complaints on my end.

I have several and they are good barrels.

I've installed quite a few, and they ARE very good barrels..

Great intel Gene. Thank you.

Redneck installed the only one I have. It is an excellent shooter and fouls very little.

It’s been a lonngggg time since I’ve waited more than a day on a barrel to ship. Hint.

Just sayin’………….

I have Lilja barrels on 4 rifles, all are 3-groove:

#3, .257, 1:10, 257Wby @ 25"

Kimber Montana duplicate contours in:

.224, 1:8, 22-250 @ 22"

.224, 1:7, 223Rem @ 22"

.277, 1:8, 270Win @ 22"

They're all exceptional. They're accurate, will go a LONG time between cleanings, and clean up easy when it's time.

I've helped 2 friends w/re-barrel projects as well, again, both were 3-groove:

.224, 1:12, 22-250 @ 24", Ruger Varmint contour, chrome-moly and blued shiny like a factory Ruger. Other than not having all the factory writing on it, you'd never know it from original and no stock-work at all was required.

.277, 1:8, 270Win @ 24", Remington standard sporter contour. It's stupid accurate on an older 700 action in a Classic wood stock that was previously bedded. Less than 20 rounds for load-workup. Basically loaded 2ea in .5gn increments over 3gn total disparity, found what QL computed as top velocity for 140 NAB's, loaded up 10, shot 2 5 shots groups @ 200 that went under 1" and called it good.

I have 2 more Montana contour .224's in 1:7 on order for a 22Creed and another 223Rem.

Not only do they shoot great, foul little, but, their large database of factory barrel contours makes them the "easy-button" for re-barreling an action/stock you like without having to do any work on the stock.

Lllja Factory Barrel Contours

Oops, forgot I have a #2 .308 being chambered in 300Win for a M70 Classic SS at the 'smith right now as well.

I have a bunch of Liljee spouts and think highly of them from sub Mountain Rifle contour to MTU. Hint.

Just sayin’……….

May still be this way but when I had my rifle built by Karl Feldkamp @ Kampfeld Customs if you asked Karl what barrel he liked to use guaranteed he would of said a Lilja #3 contour in whatever you wanted built. The .243 he built for me is set up that way and is one of my most accurate rifles I own.

I only have one rifle with a Lilja barrel. It's a 7mm Rem Mag with a #4 contour. It shoots very well.

I shot benchrest with Dan for many years.. He's a fine fellow and they make great barrels..

Continuing the theme. My 338 Fed with the Lilja Kimber 84m mod contour is accurate. I'm pondering my Ascent 7 RM in current factory twist rate. So far it hasn't lived up to my expectations and gaining mementum toward an 8 twist 0.284 of some flavor. It'll be a Lilja fac dupe contour unless the barrel installer makes a compelling argument.

Dan's 3-grooves are wicked slick, fast, and accurate

I'm pretty sure Dan hasn't had anything much to do with Lilja in a few years his son Carson has pretty much ran it for a few years now and in my opinion has brought it to a different level.
I just got a 6mm 4 groove 7.5 twist for a 6 creed that's getting spun up as we speak I will be picking up the barreled action monday.

I have 4 Lilja barrels and they are my go to. I talked to a dude named Travis the last time I ordered from them according to my notes.
Next is Shilen, then everyone else...
