True flite

[Peterla]

Hi all,
I have been using Kriger barrels so far and been happy with them.
Now considering they seem to take for ever to get in I am looking at True flite as a replacement.

Anyone got any good or bad comments on this barrel manufacturer

Thanks

Peter

I've heard it said that they smell of lanolin if you overheat them.

Well I got that same smell with my Barnard.
Now it all makes sense

I've got one of my 6x47L now. It's taken me around 350 rounds to find a load that it likes. But it shows promise now. To be honest I dunno if I would get another but that's more due to the stuff around with shipping the barrel to me. My gunsmith uses Kreigers and Bartleins and i will probably stay with them. I have two Kreigers and they are both hummers and have another 2 on the way to me.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't use them again but due to the stuff around I got I won't go outa my way as I can get a barrel within Australia easier.

I'll know more how this barrel performs after next fortnights OPM.

Wild Bill had a trueflite ONCE apparently it throat eroded very quickly he complained and nothing happened I guess he didn’t get another
BTW this was about 8 years ago and things may have changed.

I have four Trueflight .308 barrels for my match rifle,three are 34" and one is 32". Very happy with them,the 32" is not throated as long as the 34" ones and I use it for F/class standard. All are 1-10 twist.
