JC Custom barrels, NB

[bearhunter]

I decided to treat myself to what will likely be my last build of an all-around, personal rifle.

It will be built on a stainless Remington 700 trued action, with a factory laminated stock, detachable magazines, Trigger Tech, and a Remage JC Custom barrel. Not sure which scope will go on it.

The barrel is finished at 26 inches, stainless, 4 groove, 1-8 twist, with six straight flutes, chambered for the 280AI.

I set it up between centers and checked it for runout, especially in the center, but at 2cm intervals from the breech to the muzzle. It was perfect.

Then a tight patch was run through the single point cut bore, and there were no loose spots, just the same resistance from the leade to the muzzle.

The bore is mirror bright, not one blemish visible with my rather poor quality bore scope. I didn't bother slugging it, but it's likely perfect, if the rest of the barrel finish is an indication.

I ordered two "jam nuts" just in case I like this method of barrel attachment, and want to do another build, on a Ruger No1 with another good barrel I have on the shelf.

It's chambered for the 338-06, which I really like, but it hasn't been anywhere but the range for at least five years. Time to make it more useful, or move it on.

I'm looking forward to this build, working up loads, etc.

I will let you folks know how well this barrel shoots.

I did get to see one of JC's barrels in action at the range last summer. It shot very well, with the factory loads that its owner/operator was shooting.

It was chambered for the 7 Rem Mag, and he was shooting some high end (memory lapse) factory ammo. I saw his targets, and all of them were about 1/2 moa at 200yds.

It was a custom build rifle out of Ontario, and topped with one of the German Precision Optics scopes, also offered by JC. Very nice scopes but not better or worse than what I've already got on hand, so I won't bite the bullet on one.

I am sure you will be happy with JC barrels. I built a 6CM a few years ago with a JC barrel, awesome shooter.

JC makes amazing barrels.

I have a Montana 84L chambered for 270 Win, it's in a beautiful factory dark brown AA Walnut stock. It doesn't shoot as well as your pics, but that's likely more on me.

I decided not to use it as a donor rifle and settled on the Remington. The conundrum is deciding if I want it on a Mountain rifle stock or in a very classy Walnut stock, with detachable magazines.

I don't use Ramshot powders, not because I don't like them, as I already have other powders that are in the same burn rate.

I'm thinking this barrel will shoot as well as your barrel does. All of the pre indicators prove out.

I want my rifle to be heavier than the Kimber, which is one of the reasons I didn't use it. I'm recoil shy.

I'm leaning toward the Remington Mountain rifle profile, which will look different with the 26 inch magnum profile barrel. It should handle and point well, while still being heavy enough to absorb some of the felt recoil.

I have a Kik Eeze Pad sitting on the shelf, waiting for a project rifle. It may have found that project.

Scope will be a Swarovski Z5, 10x42.

It's going to be a nice rifle, but like all such "personal" builds, it will be a sink hole for cash.

Sorry, I failed to mention that this is not my target. I queried Ramshot Grand Review, hence a new gun powder, this review appeared with the target. Knowing of you're recent thread on the JC Custom barrel and 280AI build, I'd thought to pass-on this receipe.
