my 3 customs wear Shilens. haven't had an issue with them except that one needed a 150 round break in. It also requires 2 fouling shots before the hunt, the other two do not.
Someone in Tenn/Kent bought the equipment from Tim. Not sure why they arent up and runnin. seems like a waste.Broughton barrels are the best I've ever used, Unfortunately they no longer make barrels, I wish someone would pick up where they left off making barrels using the 5C rifling. But Hart barrels are hard to beat too.
I do. Sully at Westwind Rifles, another Obermeyer protégé, uses Chanlynn barrels.Mark Chanlynn Barrels
Few here will know his barrels.
I love hart but the waiting time is two long and yes bartlin are outstanding match barrels but again wait time . I go to bug hole for barrels in stock and now just about all are proof pre fits no wait time or less then two weeks but they are all goodBartleins are and have been the barrel of choice by a large majority of PRC shooters. There are tables and graphs online. I don't know the numbers on benchrest competitors. A lot of variables such as cost and availability over the last 20 could affect the numbers.
That being said, I lean toward cut rifled barrels mostly due to internet info. My neighbor is a gunsmith and builds a lot of customs and rebarreled actions. He uses Hart barrels exclusively (button rifled) and swears by them. His rifles are very accurate.
Its been about 5 years since proof quit wrapping bart barrels, maybe more.PROOF barrels are often Bartlein barrels with CF wrapping. As far as I know PROOF does not make the steel barrels, they just CF wrap them.
I'd go for a Bartlein stainless factory lapped barrel in 5R rifling.
I've got 3 or 4 in 17 and 20 cal they shoot pretty **** good.Green Mountain, hands down.
