[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2805031, member: 69478"] I’ve used Lilja barrels for my last couple barrels and have another one I’ll be chambering in 7mm Rem Mag as soon as my reamer comes in. Lilja barrels are hand lapped and pull buttoned. They’ve personally been great for me, but I have limited experience compared to some. We have installed a good bit of Lilja barrels at Pierce over the last couple years along with Brux, Bartlein, Krieger, Proofs, and we haven’t had any negative feedback on the Liljas. They’ve also proven themselves to gunsmiths that I value their opinions on when it comes to these topics. I personally think the whole cut rifled vs button rifled thing is over done and the merits of cut rifling and the downfalls of button rifling are often exaggerated. Both methods can make junk or make match winning barrels. It comes down to the people making them, the tooling, the process, the lot of steel, and the guy chambering it. I currently have x2 Bartleins, x2 Liljas, and a Brux. I haven’t shot the Brux yet, but the others all shoot and I can’t tell a difference in ease of cleaning, ease of finding a load, bore finish, etc. What barrel manufacturer are you referencing?
