[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2049408, member: 101859"] I would put Broughton in the top 3 or 4. Even higher for myself personally. One of the big problems was that he charged about $40 more than most. You would not believe the amount of guys that would not use one because of the $40. I quit stocking them because I couldnt sell them. Very sad because I feel he made the best .338 barrel hands down and he cut no corners with his stress relief. We did use them in 1k BR as well. One of the last ones I chambered won light gun group at the NBRSA nationals a few years ago. They were on that level even if you didnt hear about it that much. One of the big advertising phases has been how cut rifling does not induce stress into the steel like a button does. Thats true, but a button is stress relieved after its made. If that cut barrel had stress in it from the steel mill, it still has stress in it after its rifled and you buy it. Theres pros and cons to both methods. [/QUOTE]
