45 Pacnor

[deadon]

Is the size of the outside of the barrel and the contour of the pacnor the same as the Savage barrel? Another way of asking this question is----- will the pacnor fit precisely in a Savage stock and if the Savage barrel was free floated, will the pacnor be free floated? I have so many questions and I'm not gettin any younger. Twenty three more days and it will be here and I ain't excited

rusty same contour so it should fit up nice. If not I'm sure you wouldn't have to remove much material.

I've got the laminate and it fit perfectly and was floated.

Rusty, as Richard suggested to me when I asked the same question, just wrap coarse sandpaper around an appropriately sized wooden dowel (I used PVC); the dowel will assure a smooth line throughout the channel. My own laminated stock did require inletting before a business card would slide freely.

Is Pac-Nor in the same league as other premier barrels, not cost wise, just in terms of quality

[trooper1]

Pac Nor makes excellent barrels.

IMO, if you were making a 1,000yd long range hunting rifle you might look elsewhere.

BUT if you are building a normal accurate rifle Pac Nor is a good barrel.

Edge,
I have a P-N barrel on the 45, and I can't imagine, a better shooting rifle.
What I was really asking, is the overall quality, I know I got a good one.
But I haven't target shot, except at a 100 yards, the longest game shot 148 yds.
