[QUOTE="pdog06, post: 280138, member: 12813"] I have 2 of them. I bought the first one over a year ago. It's a 10t .308 bull barrel for a Savage action. It broke in real easy. My best group so far is a .212", but it will shoot in the low to mid .3" range all day long @ 100, and I can usually keep them around .5" @200. It cleans very easily with just a few patches, and almost no copper fouling at all. Since my 308 shot so good I just bought another one in 6br about a month ago. I've only been to the range a couple times with it, just breaking the barrel in and testing some varmint loads. The 87gr vmax/Varmint combo is already shooting in the .3-.4's, and I havent messed with any seating depths or anything yet. I cant wait to see how it does with some match Bergers. This barrel cleans just as good as the other one too. Bottom line is I think you made a good investment. They are just as good as Shilen and the like. About the only problem I've heard with them is where they had to rent a reamer because they didnt have the one the customer wanted. [/QUOTE]
