A PROOF BBL CF bolt-action barrel in 6.5 PRC is built for shooters serious about long-range precision and velocity. This 22-inch carbon-fiber barrel is threaded and contoured for Zermatt SA actions, making it a plug-and-play upgrade for hunters and competition shooters who want to swap barrels without guesswork. The 1:7.5 twist rate stabilizes the full range of modern 6.5 PRC match and hunting rounds, from 130-grain pills to the heaviest bonded projectiles, giving you flexibility in load development and bullet selection.
Carbon-fiber construction keeps weight down—critical when you're building a lightweight hunting rifle or a competition gun that won't wear you out on a long day at the range. The Sendero contour balances stiffness and handling, and the 5/8-24 muzzle thread is the standard for suppressors and muzzle devices in the 6.5 PRC family. Whether you're chasing elk across high country, shooting steel at distance, or fine-tuning a precision platform, this barrel delivers the accuracy and reliability Pete Rickard is known for.
Installation requires basic gunsmithing or a trip to your smith—this isn't a drop-in, but the precision engineering means you'll get consistent, repeatable results once it's on. If you're familiar with barrel swaps on Zermatt actions, you know the quality bar is high. This one clears it.
