.260 Remington for Savage Short Action Pre-Fit
I purchased this barrel in October of 2016 and have put 500 rounds through it up to this point.
What a great barrel! The accuracy is superb, with 1/2 MOA (sometimes 1/4 MOA) consistently achievable with Hornady ELD-M, Lapua Scenars, and Nosler RDF's. I will purchase another Savage Pre-Fit from you guys again.
The only negative I can say about my particular barrel is, when single feeding rounds (not from mag), the tip of the bullets (4 different types) will hit the outside of the chamber and stop the feeding process. To overcome this, I either have to insert the round partially into the chamber then close the bolt, or insert the round into the magazine, and they feed from the magazine flawlessly.
Fit and finish are amazing. All chambering and threading was perfect.

6.5 Creedmoor Savage pre-fit
In December of 2016 I purchased an X-Caliber Savage prefit in 6.5 Creedmoor
Savage Small Shank
1:8 Twist
Stainless Steel 416r
11 Degree Target Crown
Muzzle threaded 5/8x24
Heavy Palma Contour .90 @ the Muzzle
6 Groove Rifling
It fit perfect, finish was superb, chamber tru with bore and the bore was nicely polished.
I have put 800 rounds down the tube with 700 of those round being what some might call barrel burners. Using RL26 and Hornady bullets 130 ELD-M @ 3020 fps, 143 ELD-X @ 2999 fps, 147 ELD-M @ 2930 fps all of these loads producing Standard Deviations of 4-6 fps and 1/3" to 1/2" 5 shot groups at 100 yards. So far I cannot measure any erosion in the throat or leade with using a bore scope the rifling is sharp and using a dummy round just touching the lands it is the same overall length I measured when first setting up my reloads. Half of the bullets shot have been coated with HBN and I am sure that helps as well. When I have shot up this barrel I will order a new on from X-Caliber and see if the first one can be re chambered for 6.5-06 or 6.5-284 and have it as well.
Someday I would also like to try one of X-Calibers X-Terminator Muzzle Brakes.

I decided to take my Savage 111 in 7mm Rem Mag and upgrade all components to include barrel, stock, trigger, and scope. I decided on the X-Caliber brand barrel and couldn't be happier. Fired it today and produced two 3 shot groups to zero measuring .51" and .48" with handload match ammo. To confirm zeroing adjustments I fired a pair which measured .12". It can't get much better than that. The extra weight and pepper pot muzzle brake have made the recoil about that of my .243.
