[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2457938, member: 106514"] I've had/have a handful of them, and the worst shooting one I had shoots 1/2" groups with the right load. The best shoots bug holes. The rest are in between. Of note, the "worst" one is a standard sporter contour, not heavy sporter, varmint, etc. The rest have been heavy sporters or varmint contours. I bought a Shilen Select Match from Northland and couldn't quite get to 1/2". More like 3/4 to 1" with best being close to 5/8". I replaced it with a Criterion and the groups shrank and consistency improved. The next Criterion I get may fizzle or if I bought another Shilen, it might shine, but these are my experiences. Of course my Mullerworks barrel outshot my Bartlein, too, but that's another story... [/QUOTE]
