branb Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Where is the best place to source a replacement barrel for Rem 17 ? In Stainless in Light Varmint Profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srvet Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Lothar Walther do them but I don't know about GB barrels or Sassen. Brownells U.K. Might be worth a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Border Barrels do-google them. Border-Barrels.com...Adam and Lewis now located in Birmingham. Lilja was at one time the major US maker: not all do them (Krieger eg do .20,but not 17..?). If it's for a Remington 700,GMK should be able to advise on factory replacement option. gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branb Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Yes its for a Remington 700 but prefer to stay away from a factory barrel if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srvet Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 It looks like Shilen Pac nor and Lilja do .172 barrels but benchmark, Brux Hart and Krieger do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Yes its for a Remington 700 but prefer to stay away from a factory barrel if possible You then need to speak to a rifle builder to supply and fit a barrel. Border/Sassen make .172 but dont sell retail, there will be other .172 barrel blanks in the UK but you need someone to fit/proof it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17 Rem Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Dasherman usually has 17 calibre barrels in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dogge Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 I believe I have a Pac-Nor fitted by Dasherman on my 17Rem (not 100% as it was second hand), it shoots extremely well.

JB1 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 I've not long had one fitted to a Sako s491 action. It's a Sassen SS absolutely no copper fouling and shoots 0.3 with 20 Vmax and cfe223. If the lack of copper is anything to go by I have to recommend the Sassen.

JB1 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Steve kershaw did a 17 rem re barrel for me and used a sassen. Extremely low copper fouling if any ! And very accurate with 20gr vmax. Just make sure you can get the brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
