Why Choose This Fierce .284 Barrel?
Do-It-All 24" Length: Maximizes velocity for long-range performance while keeping overall length manageable for field carry.
1:8.5 Twist for Modern 7mm Bullets: Ideal for popular .284/7mm projectiles—often from ~150 to 180 grains—supporting superior downrange stability and wind resistance.
5/8"-24 TPI: The most common .30-cal class thread pitch for broad compatibility with muzzle brakes, flash hiders, and suppressor mounts.
Precision-Minded Build: Quality machining supports consistent bore geometry and concentricity—key for tight groups, predictable ES/SD, and cold-bore confidence.
Multi-Cartridge Potential: Suitable for .284-caliber chamberings (e.g., 7mm Rem Mag, 7mm PRC, 7mm-08, .284 Win, 7mm SAUM—verify exact chamber spec for your barrel/action).
Important: This listing describes a .284 caliber barrel specification. Always confirm the chambering, contour, material/finish, and tenon pattern against your action before purchase. Headspace must be checked/confirmed by a qualified gunsmith.

Performance You’ll Notice

Consistent Precision: Proper twist and precise manufacturing help reduce yaw and dispersion for small vertical at distance.
Muzzle Modularity: 5/8"-24 threading allows quick tuning of recoil and muzzle rise with your preferred device.
Ideal Applications
Western Big-Game & Open Country: Pair with high-BC 7mm hunting bullets for ethical energy and reliable terminal performance.
Practical Precision / DMR-Style: A balanced length for tripod/barricade work without excessive front weight.
Range & Steel: Confidence from 300 to 1,000+ yards* with good glass, dope, and wind calls.
*Distance capability depends on cartridge, load, altitude, and shooter skill.
Build & Compatibility Notes
Action Fit: Confirm tenon thread pattern, shoulder datum, and headspace for your action (e.g., 700-pattern customs, Savage small/large shank, etc.).
Chamber/Freebore: Verify the chamber spec and freebore suited to your chosen bullets and mag length (AICS vs. short internal box).
Muzzle Devices: Time brakes or mounts per spec; use shims or a peel washer as required and re-zero after installation.
Stock/Chassis: Ensure your inlet clears the barrel’s contour; free-floated setups typically yield best accuracy.
Setup Tips (Best Practices, Non-Instructional)
Headspace Correctly: Always gauge with the bolt/action you intend to use.
Torque to Spec: Follow your action maker’s barrel torque guidance; use proper anti-seize on threads if applicable.
Break-In Your Way: Modern barrels often need minimal break-in—shoot, verify, and clean as you prefer.
Load Development: 7mm barrels frequently shine with 160–180gr class bullets; test several nodes for lowest ES/SD and minimal vertical.
Document DOPE: Record drops and wind holds at 200/300/600/800+ for fast, reliable corrections.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Cleaning: Use quality bore solvent and nylon/bronze brushes; finish with a light oil film if storing.
Copper Management: Monitor fouling; de-copper as needed to maintain peak precision.
Protect the Crown: Clean from the chamber end when possible and use a bore guide to preserve throat alignment.
Great Pairings
Adjustable Brake or Hybrid Mount to manage recoil and maintain sight picture.
2–10× / 3–15× / 4–16× Optic with reliable tracking and a clean reticle for holds.
AICS-pattern magazines tuned to your cartridge and OAL.
