The barrel is the most important part of a precision rifle. We specialise in fitting top quality match barrels. We stock smallbore and centre fire barrels from Phoenix, Pendragon and Lilja. New barrels fitted and proofed from \u00a3910 (2025).<\/p>\n

Why would you trust me to fit a new barrel for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many barrel fitters around so how do you know that I will do a better job than them. I was shown how to fit a barrel by John Knight (for which I am eternally grateful). He had many years experience and did work for some of the highest level marksmen in Target Rifle, Match Rifle and F Class. There are lots of You Tube videos out there showing how different people do it but to be shown first hand, by someone who had tried different methods over the years and settled on what he thought was the best way was invaluable. This gave me the best start possible and some of my work has won two international Grand Aggregates (2015, 2017), the Governor General’s 2017, the State Presidents Prize 2017 and the Hopton in 2019 and 2020. I check all of my work with a bore scope to make sure the chamber is in pristine condition before it is finally fitted to the action. I have a really good understanding of the dimensions required to give the best performance and can set the jump to whatever distance you would like. I’ll do a very good job for you.<\/p>\n
