[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1045393, member: 35183"] Here is my Savage 12 with a 26" Varmint contour Shilen 243 AI 1:8 twist barrel It has served me very well, I have not yet missed a coyote since I put the new barrel on and started shooting the 95gr Bergers. The factory (1:9.25) barrel would not group the 95gr Bergers better than 2 or 3MOA. Right now I am still in the fireforming stage and will start with 105gr load development when I have 100 shells prepped. So far, for coyotes the 95gr Bergers have been devastating and the ballistics a massive improvement over the 223 I hunted with before. I have heard negative comments about Shilen from gunsmiths, but every barrel I have except my 6.5x284 is a Shilen and I have been very happy with them. For some reason, there was a huge problem with yield on 6.5mm blanks the year I was building mine and after waiting a year I caved and got a CBI. I do think that gunsmiths scorn prefit barrels since it takes them out of the manufacturer / customer relationship and I have fitted all of my barrels myself. [/QUOTE]
