Haven't un-packaged it yet- but I just got a barrel from JC. Was exactly the timing he advised when I ordered it. Will be a bit before it is built up to know it if is a shooter or not. JC was great to deal with- I hope the barrel is a shooter!
Another thing I have noticed with JC'S barrels is that they don't foul. I haven't had one build up much if any copper yet.
I have one of his prefits for my RPR in 6.5x47 Lapua. It has been very consistent, tight groups in competition and very little variance for cold bore shots. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.
HW Precision barrels are also Canadian

Be nice if we could get rid of the spammers on here
Spammers? OP said he wanted to stick with a Canadian company, and was aware of JC. Perhaps he didn't know that IBI is Canadian, and makes fantastic barrels as well. A friend has an IBI on his 6BR, took second at the Kenora 500m BR match with factory Lapua 105's. He's done load development and is in high 1's and low 2's. Not bad for some spam eh!
The title of the thread is about JC barrels. To me that seems like he is specifically asking about JC barrels and not looking for recommendations of other barrel manufacturers.
Wow now that's what a borescope picture should look like. The factory barrel I want to replace has chatter marks on the bore and rifling. I can push 100 patches down the barrel and it still shows residue. Thanks for adding the photos.
However, JCCustom Barrels is a different outfit than Bob Jury barrelsI currently have two rifles with Jury Custom stainless steel barrels, 240 Weatherby and 270 Winchester. I give JC great reviews as they are built with excellence, off the lathe with accuracy excellence, very easy to cleaning (Hopps No. 9 only) and of course weather resistance. However, I've also had Gaillard, Douglas and Krieger before with the same performance.
I now switched to Ron Smith barrels, that are now on two newly built rifles, that are not quite complete. Why I switched?.......try something different, one of the barrels is a gain-twist 1:20 to 1:10, 27".

One is in Alberta and the other down East in new Brunswick ( I think).

Looking to replace my factory 223 barrel on my savage model 12. I would like to stick to a Canadian made company. Just looking for any input from any CGNer's that have experience with these barrels. Thanks.
He does say JC Barrels in the title but also mentions "he would like to stick to a Canadian" company in his first post........ there are many good Canadian barrel makers and JC is just one of them, I have a JC Barrel and its very accurate.
