[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 512443, member: 25383"] I know several guys that have bought Shaw barrels over the years. Some shoot fairly well and some shoot like a blunderbus. Onething they all seem to have in common is barrel life. Looks like they are using a high sulphur content steel to aid in machining (I sent a piece to the lab once that was cut off a 22-250 barrel). I think they'll do well in something like a .222 or a .223, but in something like a 6/.284; I'd be looking elsewhere. A standard chamber 6mm remington ought to be fine with it's long neck length. As for a compairson to a Douglas barrel; I can't say much as I've only had two or three over the years. But each one shot very well (all were Sharpshooter barrels), and had little trouble printing in the high threes. Neither will run with a Bruxe if that matters. If my shots were under 400 yards, then most any of the prefit stuff will work. Now I know who made the barrel on my one lone Mod. 700!! A genuine tomato stake if there ever was one gary [/QUOTE]
