[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1606305, member: 93846"] Last I heard, Boots Obermeyer was still using Pratt and Whitney machines for his barrels. At his age, and given the extremely high quality and accuracy of his barrels, I doubt he will ever again purchase any newer machines. While many new shooters have probably never heard of him, MOST of the current major cut rifling barrel manufacturers started out with a barrel maker/smith that trained under Boots! Boots is a small (usually just him on the floor) business and most of his barrels wind up on some of the most accurate US Military rifles. I waited 16 years to finally get one some12 years ago. I own lots of Bartlein, some Krieger, and a couple Rock Creek cut rifled barrels but, none of my rifles, cut rifling or otherwise, will out-shoot the Obermeyer barrel. I've had an order in for two more of his barrels for nearly three years now. Believe me, it's worth the wait! [/QUOTE]
