[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 58204, member: 10"] The ecomony barrels are more of a crap shoot then anything else. I have fitted some very low priced barrels that shot into groups so small I would be called a liar if I said how small. Have also fitted some cheaper barrels that were very accurate but also extremely poor copper foulers. Theres have had some serious stresses show up when the barrel warms. I would say the majority of the ecomomy line barrels I have fitted have been better then factory in accuracy and generally at least as good in bore finish. Still there are more problems then I care to deal with. Even though yousave on the barrel you still have to pay good money for a proper barrel fitting if you want any chance of a fine shooting rifle. Problem is with some of these barrels, even if it is fitted perfectly they still won't shoot to the level the top end barrels will. It is no secret that I highly recommend Lilja barrels and if I build a rifle for myself and Lilja offers the twist I need, I use them exclusively. Still I know full well that any or the top end barrels will produce fine quality rifles. Kreiger, Hart, Rock and Pac-Nor Super Match are just a few that will give you eveything you could want if they are fitted properly. My advise is to spend another $150 over the price of the cheaper barrels and know what you are getting. I use Lilja barrels because I know every barrel that is shipped out of his shop has teh potential to produce true BR quality accuracy. Weither they do this is up to me as a gun builder, so far I have yet to be unimpressed with even a single Lilja barrel. Peace of mind is well worth the extra cost. Good Shooting!!
