[QUOTE="A1C, post: 2915133, member: 105373"] Not exactly the same situation you’re in, but I’ve bought and shot more than a dozen shilen or criterion barrels (savage prefits) that have all shot very well. Everyone of them has shot several groups just through load development in the .1s with most getting a couple in the .0s. they’re fantastic barrels and are so easy to swap out once you get the hang of it. It really opens the door to so much less wait time from smiths. You can change a barrel out in a few minutes which I do with regularity. I haven’t tried them all but the ones I can remember are: 6 CM, 25CM, 22CM, 280 AI, 223 rem, 300WM, 20 Practical, 300 PRC… they all shoot amazing! You won’t regret it! You can buy a spun barrel for the same (or a hair less) than the most expensive brands barrel blanks. I’m not comparing these to the highest end barrel manufacturers, however, for a barrel to shoot consistently in the .2s consistently or better, that’s also the definition of a great barrel to me. I own many barrels that are the most expensive in the industry and have gone down the custom plenty of times as well and they have their place as well. I’ve found that my shilens/criterion’s are the barrels I shoot the most as the value (performance vs cost) is the very best! Go for it I say! [/QUOTE]
