Paradigm Carbon barrels?

[Blueoval56]

Who here has experience with these barrels?

It’s between one of these 0.308 1:9t or a PVA carbon 1:10 twist for a 30-06 build.

Very little info on these barrels. From what I can find, rock creek liners and they can be cut to any length you wish.

I’m tempted to go with PVA because they’re more known, but the paradigm is in stock and I could have it next week. Price is the same for either.

Any help is appreciated!

who still sells paradigm barrels?

Gobigtactical in Canada still has a few.

My options in Canada that are easy to get are Paradigm and PVA from Gobigtactical, and Hardy Carbon from Insite arms. All around the same price. There’s also IBI’s carbon at $300 cheaper than the others I listed but they’re a 3 month wait and they’re 1-1.5lbs heavier.

can't go wrong with a carbon osprey from PVA.

True, I’m sure a PVA would be a sure bet. I’m just amazed there is so few reviews out there for Paradigm. I’m not a Google idiot and I’m having a hard time finding much at all.

I know this thread is old, but West Texas Ordnance review was the only one I found at the time. Now I have several of these barrels but so far have only used one in 6.5 CM. It shoots very well, but the groups widen by about 10th shot. So, IMHO, perfect for hunting, not for competitions where you need more than 9-10 shots in a string.
