[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 219840, member: 2693"] There are definitely at least 2 schools of thought here. 1) you have a Hart already and know it's capabilities, so why change? "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." 2) you have a Hart already so it's time for something different to satisfy your curiousity. I personally like a variety, and that choice has served me well as I have not bought a "bad" barrel. Krieger will tell you that Hart is their biggest competition and that Hart makes a fine barrel, probably the best button rifled barrel available. The first words I heard from Michelle at Hart in 2002 were, "we make the best barrels in the world." So, I ordered one. Jim Borden's #1 recommendation is Hart. His #2 recommendation is Bartlein. Mr. Borden is an excellent source of information and I strongly trust his opinion. Personally, I would go with either Krieger, Lilja, or Broughton for this project since you already have a Hart bbl. Just so you know, if you buy a Krieger barrel, it will be rifled by John himself, and lapped by him, if it is .338. [/QUOTE]
