Ace Barrels Precision Rifle Barrels Product Spotlight

Ace Barrels Product Spotlight

Today we are going to have a short product spotlight on Ace Barrels. Ace Barrels is known for their dedication to quality, producing precision rifle barrels in a variety of contours and twist rates to their customer’s specifications.

Each barrel is lapped to produce a smoother internal finish after the reaming and rifling processes. This makes sure your barrel is free of sharp edges and burrs inside the rifling which cuts down on fouling points. We have a number of Ace Barrel options as barrel blanks, so let’s see what is available to you.

Ace Barrels .30 Cal

The .30 Caliber barrel is made for your traditional hunting and precision loads. These include .308 Winchester, .300 Winchester Magnum, and other .30 caliber based projectiles. Keep in mind you have to have the chamber cut to the appropriate dimensions by a professional gunsmith to get your desired caliber.

Ace Barrels .264 (6.5mm) Cal

The .264/6.5mm barrel offering is for your more modern precision loads. Things like 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5 Grendel will be the primary aspect of these barrels. Any caliber with a diameter of .264 or 6.5 will work with this barrel after it is appropriately chambered.

Ace Barrels .284 (7mm) Cal

If you are into more classic 7mm cartridges or newer options like the 7mm PRC, you will want this barrel as your rifle’s base. There are fewer barrel options than the .30 cal and .264 barrels, but this is just excluding the 30 inch barrel length. But most 7mm cartridges don’t get a lot of benefits past  28 inches.

Ace Barrels .243 (6mm) Cal

Cartridges in the .240 to .243 range are compatible with the Ace .243 barrels. This also includes your other 6mm rounds that aren’t big enough to play with the 6.5 range. Just to be on the safe side, make sure that your desired round is in the projectile dimensions for this barrel.

Expanding Your Options

Ace Barrels offers more than just standard options. They are renowned for their custom barrel solutions, ensuring that shooters get exactly what they need for their specific applications. Whether you're a competitive shooter looking for that extra edge or a hunter seeking the perfect balance of weight and accuracy, Ace Barrels can cater to your unique requirements.

Additionally, Ace Barrels provides detailed guidance on barrel maintenance and installation, helping you maximize the lifespan and performance of your barrel. Proper care includes regular cleaning to prevent fouling, using the right solvents and tools to maintain the integrity of the rifling, and ensuring the barrel is properly installed and aligned. This attention to detail ensures that your investment in an Ace Barrel pays off with superior performance and longevity.

When selecting a barrel, it's crucial to consider the type of shooting you'll be doing. For example, a heavy Palma barrel might be ideal for long-range target shooting, providing the stability and heat dissipation needed for consistent accuracy. On the other hand, a #3 Sporter barrel might be better suited for hunting, offering a good balance of weight and maneuverability.

Conclusion

Elevate your rifle’s accuracy with a semi-custom barrel tailored to your caliber and length requirements. For most of your precision and hunting needs, Ace Barrels will have something for you if you are using off-the-shelf calibers. If they don’t, they are open to custom orders.

If one of these barrels caught your eye, feel free to add it to your cart. We still have multiple variations and calibers in stock.
