[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 216630, member: 2693"] I'm certainly not offended. It is perfectly appropriate to disagree based on your experience and credentials. I regret that you were offended by my post b/c it was certainly not meant to be offensive. The topic of bbls is simply fertile grounds for discussion. But I still respectfully disagree that LW "just plain sucks" b/c you personally have not had stellar results. It may be factual for your accounts but it isn't for everyone. Moreover, a reason that the LW may not be in the winners circle is b/c they are more difficult to obtain. Like you said, why bother when there are great bbls to be had right here. Regarding your argument for not using them due to the premium supply of US bbls is cogent and I agree. I love my US made bbls on my rifles. In fact, I agree with your whole argument except that the LW sucks. Personally, I do not care what is winning at the benchrest competitions b/c those barrels are a different contour. I only care about what barrels do well with hunting contours. And, as mentioned previously, I'm also not one to attempt to **** of my smith by requesting a bbl other than what he prefers b/c of his experience. When they recommend LW, they have their reasons. If they want to take the time to work with tougher steel, that is up to them. I'll post pics of my targets when I get them. [/QUOTE]
