Looking for some knowledgeable impact people. Was eye balling the 7prc proof prefit barrels on Brownells.com for $350 shipped and trying to find out what the scoop is on the 787R.

From what I can tell it has separate threads and uses a .750 bolt diameter.

Looking at the Impact website it refers to the 787r/787nbk.

Is the long action NBK the 787?

Or is the 787 a version of the nbk?

Is there anything wrong with the 787r for a hunting rifle?
 
1. Don’t buy an expensive action just to buy the cheapest barrel you can find.

2. 787 does not share the same tenon as the 737 sa or 777 la

3. 787 has a lapua bolt face option the rest do not

4. There is a 777 and 787 nbk - this is in reference to the split pic rail on top.
 
I've been looking at a 7mm for a while. My 28nosler is just too much of a good thing.

1. The way I see it. I plan on getting a LA action sometime this year to build a 7mm prc or saum. Unless there is something regarding the 787 specifically, Impacts seem to be highly recommended in general. So saving $500 on a barrel would tip the scale in favor of the 787.

Thanks on the rest.
 
I’m seeing a proof barrel for $480 on there but no other barrels. Is that what you’re looking at?if so, that’s an unreal deal and I would recommend that.
