Are there any reviews of these out there yet?
I thought for sure these would be a HUGE hit. I've never built a bolt gun before but I've been thinking of doing a Stevens 200 build and would like to see how these are fitting and shooting.

The bolt action barrels were all set to go when all this crazy stuff started. I asked the other day, and was told they will be coming out soon. Black Hole wants to get caught up before they bring out a new product. |

I can definitely understand taking the extra time to make sure the barrels are top notch.
Is there any idea on an ETA?

Well by now it is obvious that the bolt action barrels are being shipped. I received a pair of Savage barrels in 260 Remington and a 6X6.8 yesterday. I got my donor action last winter and now it was time to make or break it. I had picked up a Davidson Barrel Vise for about $60.00 from Sinclair and a Wheeler action wrench for about $25.00 from Midway. The original rifle is a 22-250AI so I didn't have to worry with a bolt change. I had also picked up a 260/308 head space Go Gauge from Brownells. Once I got the vise tightend down with a pair of C-clamps and cinched up the barrel getting the action loose was pretty easy. I put some anti-sieze on the threads of the new barrel and started replacing the old with the new. It otok me about ten minutes as I was figuring out how the headspce gauge worked. Once I got down to the final turn or two I learned PDQ when enough is enough. Once I checked the bolt lift several times I tigtened everythimg down and returned the action to the stock. It was a piece of cake even for a guy that is really mechanically challenged. I can't wait to get it out to the range this next week. F-Class will be a hoot with this one. Greg Here is what I got the other day from Ritch. The blue mesh covered one is the 260.  |
