palo Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hi I would like to rebarrel my 204 rifle with a 1/10 or 1/11 twist custom barrel. What brand of barrel should I go for ? Border and Lothar walther both make a 1/10 twist or should I go for one of the american made barrels ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR 700 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Baldie Dave fitted a 1:10 Archer R4 26" to mine last year, hates 32 vmax's but shoots 39 bk and 40 nosler very tight. Did some test runs with 50 berger and N140 tight groups at 150M but need to stretch it out a bit further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Assuming you dont want to use it in comps then any of the well known names should do well. On my 20 I have a bartlien, when I target shoot it it shoots in the .2s and aggs in the low 4s off a bipod despite its indifferent pointer. I also have rifles with Shilen and Pac nor barrels, all work well. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I have a .20Tac built by Neil on a pacnor which shoots a dream. Very happy with the barrel and service from Neil. I can also vouch for border barrels Archer's barrels. My 6mmbr built by Ronin is on the money. In all honesty I will buy a barrel soley based on availability when it comes to custom. Unless you are top light competition shooter you won't notice the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palo Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks for the replies. A pac-nor 1/11 twist seems to be a popular choice in the UK and the US so im leaning towards that. One gunsmith I spoke to recommended a lothar walther 1/10 twist but I never heard anything about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palo Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 What length of barrel are you guys using on your custom 204s and 20 tac rifles ? Im thinking of getting a 24 inch and would like to know what everyone else is using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I'm using a 20" barreled .20Tac it achieves more than enough velocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggersqueezer Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 i have a border barrel on my .204,love it i am syill learning but it shoots between .25 - .40 @ 100 and i am sure i will improve on that with more experience.it was 26 inch 'just chopped it to 22 " no loss in accuracy lost 100 fps per inch now shoots 3450 fps accuratley again i am sure a more experienced loader would get much better.atb mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gun nut Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I have a 20tac, Lilja 1/11 twist 22.5". Shoots better than I can hold it( 1.25" at 300m) and puts a 40vmax out very comfortably at 3620fps. Longer barrels are a pain if you're foxing all night and getting in and out of a pickup 40+ times, but if its mostly a prone rifle and you want to shoot a long way go 24-26". You'll love it whatever way you go, the 20's are brilliant tools! ATB Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
