[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1873363, member: 2736"] The last time I listed the 4 top barrel makers In order, I started a fire storm and everyone had there opinion and my choices were wrong according to them. Of the 100 plus barrels from this one maker, I have never had to reject one of his barrels and everyone will consistently shoot well below 1/2 MOA with many reaching sub 1/10th MOA. Of all the other barrels I have used, I have had one or more rejections. These were the top 3 remaining. Some barrels were rejected every time and are no longer on my list of barrels to use. Everyone has their point of rejection of a barrel and it is/may be different than mine. so I recommend forming your own list based on your needs and experiences with different barrels. Many people have a habit of knocking some other brand that the one they have, when they actually only have experience with one or two barrels. Other smiths have there preferred list that have served them well, But the best way to find their real preference is to ask what brand of barrels they use on their personal rifles. I check every barrel (Even My favorite brand) before performing any work for straightness and the quality of the bore. This will still not guarantee it will shoot sub 1/2 MOA but it does eliminate any concerns and allow me to identify the real problem If it crops up. Sorry I didn't answer your question. But hopefully you understand why. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
