[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1597089, member: 87243"] Depends on a few things. If you plan on shooting it a lot, it may not be a bad idea to go mcgowen, that way you can replace the barrel yourself without the wait or fees from a smith. However, if you want a hunting rifle with smooth lines that you won't shoot a ton, I would go with a shouldered barrel. It will cost more, but brux barrels are better barrels and if the smithing is up to par, will make a very accurate rifle. Not saying the mcgowen won't be, almost every person I have talked to that is running a prefit mcgowen barrel gets half moa groups or better, which half MOA under good conditions is what I demand out of my long range rigs. However, you dont see many top end bench rest shooters running mcgowen or criterion pre fits. However, many run shouldered brux's. [/QUOTE]
