Sprinter barrels
Sprinter barrels. Anyone have experience with them? My gunsmith swears by them but sadly I am a sucker for things I have seen or heard about first hand from others. I believe they are based in S A but have no website I can find. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Re: Sprinter barrels
Never heard of anyone using them for f class but they could be out there.
I bought one years ago in .257 cal and it shot very well. That was a chrome moly barrel though.

Re: Sprinter barrels
My advise is I don't think they would be up to the task
And you probably get what you pay for.

Spot on. I have fitted quite a few on hunting rifles 20+ years ago. I felt that they were equivalent to the average factory barrel of the day. In those days they were not lapped.

Re: Sprinter barrels
I've had 6mm stainless, 257 chrome molly, 7mm chrome molly, 358 chrome molly, 458 chrome molly and not to forget a 22 Falcon that was also a chrome molly barrel
All shot great and I even shot the 6 mm in Field Rifle competition. Back then I hunted a lot and Sprinter barrels were run by John and Keith, I got great service for what I wanted to do.
Who is your gunsmith?
What do you want to shoot?
What do you expect from a barrel?
Cheers
