[QUOTE="Auto-X Fil, post: 1221044, member: 19343"] I went with an X-Caliber. The chamber is nicely done and it shoots better than me (I average 0.4-0.5MOA for 5-shot groups from bipod/rear bag prone). Almost no copper, too. I only clean every 200rd or so and it's just to get carbon out. I don't think you can go wrong. All of those makers are hand-lapped and carefully inspected, and will shoot aces. If you want the BEST, just to have peace of mind, Southern Precision will spin you up a Bartlein. It'll be $50-100 more than the others, but it's the only single-point cut-rifled barrel, chambered by some of the best in the business. I'm tempted to go that direction with my next barrel, just to see if I can tell the difference. [url=http://bugholes.com/]Southern Precision Rifles[/url] What bullets are you shooting? If it's the 140-class, consider a longer throat than standard. The Savage mag lets you really poke them out and run more powder, but it might not leave enough neck to grab the 120-130 pills as the throat wears. [/QUOTE]
