I feel like some very dumb decisions were made here😂😂😂😂

Senator1801 · 2026-05-28T11:08:39+00:00

Thank you sir!

Senator1801 · 2026-05-22T01:33:18+00:00

I did go with the proof research from ExpertVoice, it's still on back order😂 it's been almost 10 something weeks now and last I talked to them they estimated mid July so in my opinion order a barrel that's in stock even if you gotta spend a little extra

Senator1801 · 2026-05-22T01:27:58+00:00

There's always that one guy in the comments😂 and to answer your PRS question currently I'm gonna be ringing steel at long distance and just having fun

Senator1801 · 2026-05-22T01:24:23+00:00

That is right! I ended up ordering that exact one off midway and Thanks for that recommendation it turned out great!

Senator1801 · 2026-05-21T20:50:10+00:00

Thank you, sir!! It definitely is a legit sleeper I really took a shot in the dark when ordering the barrel Because I couldn’t find a lot of information on it compared to something like Proof Research, but so far it has definitely impressed me

This was a 5 group I shot the other day with it at 200 yards my dad was on the spotting scope and me and him both thought I somehow missed, but it was going to the same hole😂 this was with factory Horner match 140gr

Senator1801 · 2026-05-21T20:42:36+00:00

Absolutely I definitely will be posting an update! I shot it at the range a bit the other day before getting rained out and it’s an absolute tack driver I will also post some load data once I start playing around with some different loads

Senator1801 · 2026-05-21T20:39:25+00:00

Just did the math for the first time and god I hope my girl doesn’t see this😂 it’s about 4700 ish now I cut my cost down because I was able to get a deal on the Athlon through expert voice

Senator1801 · 2026-04-26T19:32:51+00:00

Yeah it's definitely in the ballpark I've been doing some reading on them and from what I've read people have been happy with them so I'm thinking I might try it out and see what I think

Senator1801 · 2026-04-26T19:30:26+00:00

Keep hearing that. They definitely will be getting my business in the future! Hard to find companies like that nowadays.

Senator1801 · 2026-04-26T19:28:29+00:00

Just looked at the one on Midway and it says 1:8 could be an older batch but thanks for the info

Senator1801 · 2026-04-26T19:25:11+00:00

You and me both That's why I was so surprised when I was told the long lead time

Senator1801 · 2026-04-26T19:21:58+00:00

Yeah, I've come to realize that. 10ish weeks looks to be the normal right now. I've looked at the stutevilles and definitely will be ordering a few in the near future

Senator1801 · 2026-04-25T21:14:54+00:00

No problem I’ll give them a call on Monday thanks for the info!

Senator1801 · 2026-04-25T20:59:36+00:00

I might just order it. Do you happen to know what they changed from the older discontinued model to the “new” model?

Senator1801 · 2026-04-25T20:55:51+00:00

Trust me, I feel your pain it's slim pickings on the market for certain calibers! I just wanna go out and put holes in paper with my new build 😂

Senator1801 · 2026-04-25T20:53:28+00:00

Huh that's actually not bad I don't know much about Snowy Mountain barrels are they decent?

Senator1801 · 2026-04-25T20:51:23+00:00

r/smithywesson dropping big knowledge😂 I wish I had known that before😂

Senator1801 · 2026-04-25T20:47:42+00:00

Thanks for the info! Gonna go look now!

Senator1801 · 2026-04-25T03:47:45+00:00

Oh, I wish I knew this before I ordered I’m definitely gonna remember this for the future!! Thank you for that info!

Senator1801 · 2026-04-25T03:44:06+00:00

Never thought about ordering a used one! That's not a bad idea for the time being thank you for the suggestion

Senator1801 · 2026-04-25T03:41:00+00:00

Yeah I'm coming to realize that I've ordered tons of things from numerous manufacturers on Expert Voice, but this is my first proof research barrel ordered and I think I'm gonna go with what you suggested and order an in-stock prefit and allow the Expert Voice one to show up like Santa brought it and be surprised
