Just wondering if anyone has any experience with Lilja barrels. I'm having my Sako .300 Wby rebarreled to .300 Win mag with a Lilja barrel (based on the gunsmith's recommendation) and would like to hear from others who have experience with this brand. I have none.
I used to know a custom rifle maker in wheatland wyoming that uses these barrels for his customers. He claims they are pretty good but he prefers barrels made from the first couple of months from the tooling. I think they carry a warranty as well. EJ
Solitary, I have had experience with most of the big names. From now on, I go with Lilja or PacNor, maybe shilen. I like krieger and thier single point cut but my last 300RUM was little rough for my taste. Lilja just seems smoother or handlapped better.
Why dropping from 300 Weatherby to a 300 Winchester Magnum??
Probably cause he shot out the barrel of his Wbydue tothe egregious freebore length and wants something that he can shoot that will last. I would not hesitate to put an A&B barrel on it for just hunting.....For more shooting, go with the Wilson barrel....best tolerances on the market. Regards, Rick.

Freebore has nothing to do with burning out a barrel. Freebore gives you the ability to burn alot of powder which burns out a barrel faster.
