[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 920963, member: 880"] Just to through this out there I've been having great luck with McGowen barrels, granted they are button rifled they are hand lapped and the few I have shoot very good and clean easy also, they will take a few rounds down the barrel before they calm down but hey they are not Krieger cut rifled barrels hand lapped like on my 243 but then again the difference in price I would guess to be around .200 @ 100 I believe the bigest factor in an accurate rifle is the person who chambers and installs the barrel! I've seen some real nice barrels that would not shoot to be taken off and sold and nother person cut them back and rechamber and they shoot fine. That expensive Krieger barrel I have started out life as a 6mm Akley, the guy said it would not shoot! I gave him $50 for the barrel took it to my guy who cut it back rechambered and rethreaded and the barrel shoots lights out now! I've seen cheap ER Shaw barrels put on by this guy and they will scare you how accurate they are. Either way you go be sure of the persons skill that is intalling the barrel. Later, Kirk [/QUOTE]
