[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1229986, member: 27307"] The bold sentence is nothing more than horse poop. You simply can't take all of the custom barrels made in the U.S. and expect to be able to categorize them all individually by barrel. Every barrel can have one or more of several characteristics mostly for the best if you limit the discussion to the top makers. Some barrels start a little slow then pick up velocity as you break them in. I've seen a few gain upwards of 200 FPS during the final phase of break in. Others shoot at speed right from the get go. If you want fast, get more horsepower, it's not the barrel. I don't think you can go wrong by choosing any of the top barrel makers. Sure, there's the potential of getting a less than stellar barrel on the rarest of occasions but that is extremely rare these days. While I prefer cut rifled barrels almost exclusively, the top button barrel makers should not be ignored, especially Gary Schneider. Accuracy, from the top makers, is all about how the rifle is put together and how good the shooter really is. Some folks can shoot the eyes out of a gnat at 200 yards while others can't hit the proverbial broad side of a barn. The top barrels are all fully capable of the degree of accuracy expected from top shooters and builders. Regards. [/QUOTE]
