[QUOTE="CA48, post: 1290039, member: 21446"] I have a build that is almost finished it will have a proof barrel and I will post the results. I have a friend that has been working up loads for proof rifles that customers have bought and his avg group size for each rifle is so small I won't even say, because most wouldn't believe it. I have shot several of these rifles up close and at range and they were all very accurate. I have also shot some trued 700's with proof barrels that shot just as good. I wasn't there for this but he told me they lined up some proof rifles shot 10 shot strings at X distance then shot some custom rifles with steel barrels, most were sendaro contours I believe, and they shot 10 shots to check poi drift as the barrels heated up, and from what he told me the difference was huge with the proof barrels coming out on top. After seeing and shooting many proof rifles and rifles that had proof barrels I would not hesitate to build with one. Proof has a half moa accuracy garentee so nothing to lose anyway. All thier barrels are made in house now and they are not made from bartlien blanks or the other company's blanks that proof bought out like many still think. I am not affiliated with proof just going off what I've experience personally with the rifles I've shot and the rifles I've seen shot up close and at range. [/QUOTE]
