Looking for any feed back on them good bad or even better suggestion Wilson Combat carries that caliber, and it's in stock - no wait for a custom barrel. Depends on what length/use you're looking for, though. Here's what they have: https://shopwilsoncombat.com/7mm-08-Remington/products/979/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 McGowan barrels are the $hit ! But you may have to wait a little. 2-3 weeks or more. Had 3 ... Have 2 still, fluted SS and a black barrel that's more accurate than me at 24" long in 6.8spc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBrien Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 I'm glad to hear positive reviews on McGowan barrels. I've been looking at them for awhile now, and was actually introduced to them by SRS (Superior Rifle Systems), who sells "branded" McGowan barrels. Considering an upper in a non-standard caliber in the next year or so, and McGowan was high on my list. Since Criterion doesn't sell anything other than the 2 or 3 hottest-selling calibers these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for any feed back on them good bad or even better suggestion Never had one that I know of, I have seen them in the family though. All of the companies mentioned above can put out some good quality stuff. You gotta expect to pay a little more when you want something most of the crowd doesn't. Isn't enough money in it for Criterion to stock the 7mm-08 in the same quality standard as the rest of their stuff, too bad. Looking at those 7mm-08 barrels @98Z5V linked has me thinking of a build, those Wilson Combat barrels are cut from some quality stock, sweet looking barrels and shoot real tight for the money.

I have the .338 Fed and the .260 Rem from them, and they're both lights-out shooters. That .260 is insane. I need to work that .338 Fed load up and see what it'll do beyond 400. I've never taken it further than that before. They're both very impressive, but that .260 is just stupid-accurate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
