[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 669012, member: 48043"] It seems everyone has a favorite barrel make. I don't even know the make of the custom barrel on my 7mmstw- someone else built the rifle and moved it in freshly built condition. You want to get a barrel that a smith you trust is comfortable working on. Some guys just don't like certain companies and asking them to work with a company who they had a poor run in with will not earn a favor. Most of the better makers will turn out barrels that will outshoot most people. My stw is outshooting me right now holding .3moa; I believe in the right conditions it would run 1/2 that for three shots and about that for 5 shots. It's tough to prove with North Dakota's wind. I personally like to get my worth out of a tool and will usually shoot a barrel until it starts to taper off accuracy wise before I make a move. I've owned close to 40 rifles, and quite a few would give my 7stw a run for it's money; a few would beat it soundly. None of the other rifles have had a custom barrel on them. Most of the people on this site have good knowledge of what they are writing about. I believe waiting was mentioned as the rifle will likely be just fine as is for at least 2000 rounds with upgrades like stock and trigger, not even working on the barrel or action. 30-06 rifles simply do not wear the throat like a 7rum. If it shoots well, get to know a smith and work with them as you go. [/QUOTE]
