[QUOTE="landcbeitner, post: 225080, member: 10214"] I believe he's saying the barrel is a "lilja contour" but made by benchmark. Each manufacture has slightly different countours available. I would like to praise Benchmark as well. They made me a barrel for my 7WSM that shoots great! I'm still working on load development but already have a load that shoots better than 1/2 MOA at 600yds. Mine is a 3 groove, 1:9 twist, varmint countour, fluted, 26" stainless etc. and they installed the muzzle brake. I get very little copper fouling compared to other barrels I've used. It's much easier to clean. POI does not shift as the barrel heats up and I've gotten it pretty warm. The barrel seems to shoot faster than advertised MV's. I kick out 175gr SMK's at almost 3100fps! For some reason I can't get the 168gr Berger VLD's any faster without pressure signs (like I said I'm still working on load development). The guys a Benchmark are top notch, and I would recommend them to anyone. They built my buddy a 308 that shoots very well also and he has almost no copper fouling, it's amazing. Here's a pic of my WSM. [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c39/cassandrabeitner/014-6.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
