[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 592128, member: 18849"] I have 3 Shaw barrels a .221 fireball, a 25-06 and a .260..They are all sporter contour and 24"...The fireball shoots spits out .5s & .6s at 100 yards without load development, The 25 shoots 3/4 moa out past 400 yards but the stainless .260 spits out 130 bergers 1/2 MOA at 600 yards....The chromemoly .221 & 25 were pretty rough at first but the stainless .260 cleaned up pretty well after 10 or 20 rounds... If I remember right EABCO only offered chromemoly at the time I looked... The stainless .260 came from Midway for $200 including a barrel nut wrench and head space gauges....I already had the wrench and gauges so I wish they would have offered the barrel for $50 bucks less or so..... I have a Shilen .260 varmint weight that shoots amazing but the Shaw at half the cost shoots nearly as good or better on some days..... For the money they definitely are a good starter barrel and most likely will shoot as good or better than factory sporters...If you don't already have the barrel nut wrench and head space gauges , then the Midway offer may be to your advantage....They do have several calibers available with that offering... Good Luck, Randy [/QUOTE]
