[QUOTE="csumpm, post: 420145, member: 17623"] My barrels that I sent to ABS - one was a Kreiger and the other was Bartlein - both barrels came back to me w/ stainless brakes. I ordered and was promised titanium. The Kreiger was scrapped. It was replaced by another Gunsmith. The Bartlein sits as is w/ the stainless brake and won't shoot 1" 3 shot groups w/ handloads worked up with numerous bullets and powders... The Kreiger replacement 300 WSM barrel is a Satern and it shoots very good... 1/2" consistently and 1/4" occasionally. I think the "occasionally" is the fault of the shooter, not the barrel :) I have a Browning rifle that Christensen Arms customized a few years ago. They set the trigger pull at 2 lbs. That 240 Weatherby barrel is a shooter and the rifle wasn't when I sent it. I have shot some amazing 3 shot groups with that rifle and it will still shoot 1/2" groups all day even with me at the helm. All my wrapped barrels are/were stainless. What I wanted lighter weight and all three rifles are much lighter than when I sent them out to be worked over. [/QUOTE]
