[QUOTE="lazylabs, post: 924546, member: 6641"] I have been watching this and with some hesitation......... There really needs to be some quantification if the comments are to mean anything. XXXXX is the best shooting barrel I have...... Does that mean a 50 cal shoots 8" groups at 50 yards? Does that mean a 6br shoots in the 1's? The gunsmith comments also come under the same blanket... If a smith prefers and believes that a cut barrel is better he will recommend and fit 80% cut barrels, so his best shooting barrels will probably be cut barrels. The same would apply for a different guy picking button barrels. They are not wrong or biased they are just working off thier experiences. I believe you have to ask what kind of barrel you want... ie steel type, caliber, length, twist and see who is running the best record with those type of barrels at the time. If you call XXX and tell them you want a 9.4 twist you will get a different repsonse when calling Krieger vs Shilen. If you want a specific groove spec, num of lands/grooves, different depths, bore size, rockwell hardness............. In a poll where shaw = obermeyer I would venture to say the results are inconclusive [/QUOTE]
