Overview

A PXT carbon fiber prefit barrel for your Impact Precision action

This Proof Research prefit is a carbon fiber wrapped Sendero barrel with PXT (PROOF Exponential Twist) rifling, made for Impact Precision 737R, NBK/777R and 787R actions. It arrives chambered and threaded, with a 5/8-24 threaded muzzle, ready to torque onto your action and headspace check with gauges. Available in 10 chamberings from 22 Creedmoor to 300 PRC. Choose your caliber, then your Impact action, then the finish length.

Ready to install

Proof's prefits are chambered and threaded for a simple install with few specialized tools: torque the barrel on with the proper action wrench and torque setting, double check headspace with proper gauges, and head to the range.

PXT rifling

PXT starts the bullet on a very gradual twist and accelerates it through the bore. Proof says this cuts the initial rifling lead angle by about 95 to 98% and lowers bullet engraving force by about 30%, for less pressure spike, less throat erosion and less felt torque.

30 to 100% longer barrel life

In Proof's controlled testing, PXT barrels showed a 30 to 100% increase in barrel life before measurable accuracy loss. Proof also reports 20 to 50% smaller groups across multiple ammunition types and lots.

Up to 64% lighter than steel

Aerospace-grade carbon fiber impregnated with a proprietary matrix resin, rated by Proof at up to 64% lighter than a steel barrel of similar contour, with improved heat dissipation. These run 2 lb 7 oz to 2 lb 13 oz by Proof's published figures.

Made for Impact Precision

Barrels are specific to the action type and length and are not interchangeable: pick the Impact action you own.

Fitment

Will it work with your rifle?

Works with

  • Impact Precision 737R, NBK/777R and 787R actions
  • Suppressors and muzzle devices threaded 5/8-24

Will not work with

  • Other makers' actions, or a different action length than the barrel is made for
  • Bolt faces that do not match the chambering you choose

Proof's fitment notes:

  • Barrels are specific to the action type and length and are not interchangeable: pick the Impact action you own.
  • All shouldered prefit barrels are guaranteed for headspacing.
  • Proof does not guarantee the timing of the barrel engraving to your stock line.

Rifle barrels ship for a flat $14.95 per order, regardless of quantity, and do not qualify for free shipping due to their size and handling requirements.

Detail

Installing it and the fine print

What do I need to install it?

An action wrench for your Impact Precision action, a barrel vise, a torque wrench set to the action maker's spec, and go/no-go headspace gauges for your chambering. Always confirm headspace before firing.

Does the twist change by caliber?

Yes. Each chambering comes in one PXT twist, shown next to the caliber. PXT starts slower at the breech and accelerates through the bore; the listed twist is Proof's designation for the barrel.

Will the engraving line up with my stock?

Not guaranteed. Proof notes that, due to variance in actions, it does not guarantee the timing and alignment of the barrel engraving to your stock line.
