t/c barrels vs. t/c custom "foxridge" barrels
« on: July 12, 2006, 01:06:44 PM »
does anyone know the difference? i'm thinking about getting another one in .25/06 or .7mm/08. i have a foxridge barrel in .260 because t/c doesn't offer that one. i know the t/c barrels are quite a bit cheaper in price.

I believe the heavy barrel from the Thompson Center Custom Shop (sold by Fox Ridge Outfitters) may have a little different contour than the other heavy barrels.  I also think it's possible (I have no proof) that a little more care goes into the barrels from the Custom Shop.  I have a good selection of both types and have been satisfied with all.

The custom shop is just that. Custom. If you can't get what you want in a factory offering the custom shop is a good way to go. I have a couple of Fox Ridge barrels and they are very good.  KN

I have a Fox Ridge .44 mag(16" carbine)barrel for my Encore and
the quality and accuracy are outstanding.If caliber or con-
figuration aren't available from T/C,Fox Ridge is a good way
to go.I will go to them again when ready for another
caliber.
