OTT..caliber list, info??
« on: February 09, 2004, 12:15:01 PM »
I want to get a custom Encore barrel and I've heard good things about OTT, so I went to their website.  Doesn't look finished.  No caliber list, etc.  Anyone know about them??  Do they offer muzzle brakes?  I wasn't even sure about the prices.  Are those prices they show for a finished barrel, or is the blank extra??  Not a lot of information.  Help!

Don't know  why you would want a muzzle break for. I would go with bullberry. I have a barrel from them and it shoots great.

The caliber I'm looking for is 416 Rem Mag.  You want to shoot that out of an Encore without a muzzle brake??  Virgin Valley is the only one I know of that chambers that caliber (I tried a few ti,es to get them today to place an order, but no one was home).  Fred at Bullberry makes great barrels, but not in 416 Mag.  SSK is great, but a bit pricey for my tastes.....

Mike does not have a chamber list, as he can do any chamber you want. Via CNC machining. Providing it is safe. I had him do one barrel in a 9.3x74R. The chamber itself, hasn't the finish(polish) I'm used to. But that is of little consequence, and actually may help with this round. His chamber on this barrel is tight and finish is very good. Just getting started shooting it. I sent him a drawing of a 338-74R Keith with dimension changes that I wanted. Just waiting for a quote on the dies. I had ordered a 338-06 AI, but stopped it, when this idea came into mind.

Just talked to him on the phone..nice guy!  Sounds like my barrel is a GO.  He was off to the range to test a barrel.  Now that's what I call a job!!

I have a VVC No Smoke Brake on my 209X50 and love it. Not only does it take the bite out of 150 gr load but it blows the smoke to the sides.
