[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 513766, member: 5302"] Both rifling types are capable of equal accuracy. It depends on how uniform the bore's dimensions are after the barrel's finished and ready for installation. Hart used to make the most accurate 30 caliber barrels. Obermeyer and Kreiger were a very close second. When Hart's top man, Al Hauser, retired, their barrel quality dropped so the 30 calliber folks switched to the other two. Then Obermeyer's retail barrels gave way to special order ones leaving Kreiger as the best. Since then, a few other makers have been putting out good stuff. Althoudh Matt Emmons had to go through 4 or 5 Lilja .22 rimfire barrels to get one good enough to gold medal in the Olympics, Lilja can make a good barrel. I will pick a barrel among several that are equally accurate but has the longest barrel life. I don't care how easy or hard it is to clean. [/QUOTE]
