What is your preferred Canadian made barrel?

[blueoval56]

+1 for Jury, also suggested by ATRS for my build.

Good to hear about that, I was planning on using ATRS for the smith work.

JC Custom

Nothing wrong with KS Arms, lots of top shooters use them.

I too have/had some of Ron Smith barrels. Great. Ron’s son &grandson I think are doing most of the work. Have not seen one of his barrels be poor. ( look up rebar barrel. A great read).

Yeah Ron is stepping off a bit these days from a lot of the big work but he still is in the shop .
I shot with both him and Tom Bodnar back in the day , two real characters !

I have 2 of JC's barrels both are very accurate. The finish on them ( inside and out) is top notch. My next barrel will prob be another of JC'c.

IBI, they shoot fantastic

 

[SND]

JC custom.

 

[Toolman]

I guess now it would be IBI. Just got one of their barrels last week and very happy so far.

I was also a big fan of Ted Gaillard too.

For many years...many... Gaillard was a favourite... my customers loved them. I think Ted has backed off production a bit. I don't know as I don't order barrels, I let my customers source out the best deal they can.

The most recent barrel I installed and was very impressed with was a KS Arms. I had him thread the tenon for a metric thread (as I can't do metric) and it was as perfect as it could be...

IBI barrels are just excellent as well.

Pretty happy with the new JC 6mm barrel on my comp rifle. Have seen a few KS barrels that are just hammers and will probably try their barrels next year.

 

[Skullboy]

My Preference is IBI barrels.........
IBI does centerfire, Rimfire, and Carbon Fiber barrels.

However you can't really go wrong with any of the barrel manufacturers mentioned in this thread.

 

[NoCompromise]

I was pretty happy with the accuracy of 20" HBAR IBI for my AR

 

[marcobriss]

I have 3 IBI barrels. All shoot super well. Attention to detail is next level on these! I've had kriegers and benchmarks to compare with.

 

[JBD]

I have a rob McLennan barrel and ted gaillard both excellent

 

[buckbrush]

JC barrels are my choice. Now that bore scopes are cheap, have a look at your barrels. JC's are impressive.

 

[Big Bad]

OK, I know we're talking on the target and precision forum, but speaking of the AR field, it's impossible to beat accuracy and long life of the world-sought-after Diemaco / Colt Canada cold forged barrel. Just wanted to get that in as the memory fades, and I hope saying so isn't on the current OIC list of prohibited things possible.

I have two Jury Custom barrels from Red Deer, AB. Both rifles are hunting rigs based on trued factory actions ... 338 WM and 7mm-08. The 338 was a we bit finicky but I found the right bullet (a 225 gr bear claw) at about 2700 is sub 2" at 300 yrds. This is a moose and bear rifle so plenty accurate. The 7mm-08 is dog nuts crazy. ragged holes with 140 gr AB's and well under MOA to 500 yrds. I haven't had a hand load or anything pre-rolled go over an inch. This from a 24" #1 contour tent pole. Cheers,

Awesome! I built a Remage custom bolt action a while ago. Pretty awesome setup - the remage concept. Used a Remington long action and plan on having an assortment of different chambered barrels to swap in as desired.
