[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 284097, member: 1521"] Would you suggest that all of the thriving gas stations are in business because they offer a superior product? Superior to what? Barrels made twenty years ago? I don't know about this. Most barrel makers are using pretty old machining technology, and I bet they knew what they were doing back in the day.. Of all the components that have changed in my life, I think of barrels least. Perhaps superior accuracy to factory? Well, beyond cleaning, and your reamer, this might be pretty hard to prove. You just have to step away from turn-key point blank BR(6ppc, 30br) to see it. If you aftermarket rebarrel a hunting gun, in 22-250 for comparison against a Savage. Set em up, work the ammo up & down. You might not see your aftermarket outperform this factory.. Now I'm not talking about which can hold the longest string of shots into a hole at 100yds either. These are hunting guns. Stretch em out a bit, and measure to center of mark. Afterall, it takes only one shot to define accuracy. If you wanna see consistancy, let em cool and do it again.. Now, there are factory guns that perform very well, as well as customs that can whip all before them. But most of both don't. It is an abstract. A crap-shoot. You imply 20yrs of BR shooting Eddie, maybe in competition. Well, I have never.. But I'll submit that true competitors don't believe things are as good as it gets. They just don't. [/QUOTE]
