Barrels makers

I'm pretty sure E.R Shaw was who the O.P was not happy with.

Yep we posted at the same time , but I have several Shaw I barreled and one of my friends have used them extensively with good luck ,I guess with any thing sooner or later you will have a bad experience.

I thought they just did prefits.

You know, I think you are right. Maybe fixed shoulder too.

I think they only do fixed shoulder for custom actions because of tolerance
are better.

But if he doesn't mind Remage, cheaper way to rebarrel old rifle with good results.

As for ER Shaw, I fell into stupid clearance deal at Uncle Larry's and grabbed NIB package Savage 24" SS .270Win barrel that was 50% off cause missing small bottle of oil. Shoots great on a 54 yr old 110.

If he's looking for a cheaper way I would contact Ragged hole barrels he uses Wilson barrels.
Only question i have about Preferred is why the extra charge for lapping.
If you dont lap before the button is pulled and theres tooling marks there will be after.

Anthony Ward of Crown Ridge Barrel Works. He does excellent work and has a fast turnaround.

If you are looking for a equivalent barrel too the original , you might check out ER Shaw , they have been around for many years and are really easy too deal with . Douglas Barrels is another one , but may not be in business due too a death in the family . If your looking the best made then look at Bartlein , Pacnor , Lija , Hart , the list goes on expect more of a wait time and a lot more expense. I don't think you will be disappointed with ERShaw they also make complete rifles .

Douglas is another one to look into, unfortunate Stan Taylor passed away.

I third the recommendation for Southern Precision Rifles. I've bought half-a-dozen barrels from them. Zero problems.

I've had Hart re-barrel two of my rifles. They did an outstanding job on barrel installation and those barrels are the smoothest and easiest to clean out of all my rifles. For 60 grain bullets I'd go with a 1-10 twist, I did it with my Hart 223 Rem Match chamber and it is very accurate with 50 - 60 grain bullets. I also have a Douglas barrel chambered from Compass Lake for my AR and it is very nice with 60 - 77 grain bullets.

I use LRI (Long Rifle Inc. For barrels, I'm a Columbia River Arms guy (used to be black hole weaponry), also really good specials from Lilja, and great customer service. BTW, ER Shaw, had very good luck with them, and they run regular specials.
