25 Creedmoor Thread

Have you ever had issues with the Canadian barrels. I was speaking to a gunsmith, he said all Canadian barrels are crap.

Get a new gunsmith, he's obviously an idiot if he thinks KS Arms or IBI barrels are crap.......

Simply not true. Makes me question your gunsmith. - dan

Well said Dan!

I’ve used barrels from ibi, ks arms, crb, bartlein, benchmark, brux, hells canyon, kreiger. I can tell you absolute certainty that I’d look for another gunsmith. Having a preference to say bartlein or benchmark over a Canadian barrel is fine, if you’ve had good luck or success with them then I get it, you’ve built trust in that product. But to say they are crap is a joke. Some of the best shooting barrels I’ve ever seen were ks barrels. Ibi barrels have won the last 2-3 years at the v2 finale (top shooters in the states/canadian).

Nope I have great repeatability with the ones I have and hit targets out to 1KM with them. The canadian national FClass team used KS Barrels for a few years

Hi everyone, I am new the forum. Glad someone started this thread as I am looking to build a 25 creedmoor off a Rem 22-2250 action that I have. Looking for any recommendations on a barrel to use and where to get it in Canada. Any advise is welcome.

Since you are new, I assume you meant 250 Savage AI? It's been around since Newton designed the 250-3000 for Savage around 1917: some "designers" in the 21st merely plagiarized and slapped on it the name of a once famous range from Long Island.

And Gary Eakin at Bighorn (BC) can set you up with a .257 cal barrel: Benchmark is a fine contender.
