[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 659096, member: 10"] The Shilen Select Match barrels are actually pretty darn good so I am not suprised you are seeing great results. The standard Shilen barrels are a bit more of a gamble as to what you get in the end. You pay more for better consistancy in the barrels. In all honesty, I have even used some A&B barrels that cost around $80 that produced legit 1/2 moa rifles. What you get with the top name match barrels is barrel to barrel consistancy, proven accuracy, extremely fine bore finish. With the lesser quality/cost barrels you often will have more work in barrel break in as well simply because they do not take the time to put a really fine hand lapped finish on the bore. Simply put, it often falls on the shoulders of the guy building the rifle as to how it will shoot more then what brand of barrel you use. Most modern rifle barrels have the potential to shoot to 1/2 moa consistancy, IF they are installed properly. [/QUOTE]
