Proof Research Barrels

I just got my 6.5 creedmoor ruger precision prefit in the mail today and was not impressed. The chamber looks like it was cut with a dull reamer - has radial gouges in several spots. Plus there looks to be a crack longitudinally from the neck into the shoulder area. For the amount of money these cost, not exactly sold on it. I'll give them a call and find out what can be done. QC is and big deal to me when I buy something that holds in small explosions. If you get one I would check the chamber carefully.

That's a real bummer. Was it a prefit/prechamber directly from Proof or a 3rd party. We have a smith friend that recommends the Proof SS barrels. He said they had the least run-out he had encountered. These are blanks and unchambered, but the QC is there.

It was a prefit. I called up Proof to see what they could do. They have excellent customer support. They want the barrel back to see what went wrong and they are going to get a new one sent out once they have a batch done. Only 3-4 week wait so not too bad. I have not been able to shoot the barrel obviously but just based on customer support alone, I am impressed would recommend them if you were looking for something new to put on your gun.

I have used them quite a bit, never had any issues.

Talking to Monty it seems that it was just one that possibly got overlooked in QC. They are making it right and once I get it all dialed in I'm sure to be a lifelong customer. Almost 1/2 the weight of a conventional barrel really can't be beat.
