[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1875653, member: 112413"] OK wasn't even going to respond to this post cause I know there are probably shooters that love carbonsix barrels so by proxy McGowen barrels. But experience is the best teacher and I have had some experience with McGowen barrel blanks and they both have left a bad taste in my mouth. McGowen makes the blanks for carbonsix and its those same blanks that I have had a problem with. Got two that have been chambered and crowned by my gunsmith who is very good at his job (all he builds are accuracy guns). They are both finicky to the max as well as only so accurate with my best loads, I can shoot tight groups if my gun will shoot tight groups, and neither seem capable of extreme accuracy. Maybe one but two? Chambers are straight and crowns are perfect, headspace is perfect as well, both actions with other barrels shot two's and three's, modified guns with the best parts, bedding, pillars, trued actions, CF stocks and while at 1 MOA very ho hum accuracy to me at best. You couldn't give me another, lesson learned and learned well. I don't pound on a company on a whim, but I tell the truth when relating my experiences with a product and that's a fact. I love my LW and Criterion barrels, would give Shilen a try as well, heck I got three savage heavy barrel's that while tougher to clean also shoot bughole's.......... credit where credit is due.
