Anybody know anything about Faxon rifle barrels or am I the guinea pig? I just ordered one since the PSA .224 Valkyrie upper I bought a while back is shooting one-minute-of-refrigerator. We've shot factory ammo and reloads with bullets weighing from 53 to 85.5 gr over loads of CFE223 from minimum to near maximum and none shot worth diddly. Actually, 53 VMax shot halfway decent but I don't need another gun launching light varmint bullets. I've got bolt guns consistently shooting 1/2" with those.
I found a forum which was frequented by a guy who is supposed to be the CEO of Faxon and was impressed........or maybe fell for his pitch. Either way, I've got one ordered. And yes, I am a bit of a tightwad and didn't spring for the high-dollar version. The complete upper was only $299 with several boxes of ammo from PSA. We shall see if I'm throwing good money after bad with this barrel.
