[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 923441, member: 4191"] Would be interesting to have a poll where only gunsmiths in business for the prior 5 years would be able to vote. I don't think hunters, by and large, have enough personal experience to compare the different barrels. So the poll turns into a popularity contest based on brand of ownership loyalties and Forum-based word of mouth. I'd take J E's recommendations over the top of all non-gunsmith votes - combined. Simply from what I read, and not personal experiences - because I don't own that many different custom barrels - there is a continuing consensus that there are quite a few "best" custom barrel brands available for purchase. And there's certainly more competition coming, IMO, since it took 9 months to receive the last custom barrel I ordered - from the date of order. That's longer than it takes to receive a custom automobile. IF I owned a barrel manufacturing company and it was taking me 9 months to provide a barrel, I'd either ramp up production or retire wealthy and contentedly. The demand is obviously there, even during a relatively poor economy. [/QUOTE]
