[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1082927, member: 13110"] It has nothing to do with national sentiment. Benchrest shooters here in the US will use what wins no matter the cost. Many of them have multiple barrels chambered at once to find the most accurate on to compete with. Since LW barrels are readily available here now the excuses used in Europe about the US barrels isn't valid. LW barrels are cheaper but you might pay more to have them chambered, big deal. A couple hundred dollars difference in a barrel is childs play compared to what it cost to go to matches, pay for ammo, gas, etc. So if they were competitive with US made barrels they would get used. They barely show up in match results here. No offense but hunters and rifle manufacturers don't typically hold the same accuracy standards as benchrest competitors. Many long rang hunters are picky and like the best they can get but they aren't really competing the same as a person shooting 1000yd benchrest. He asked if they were as accurate and lasted as long. Obviously they aren't as accurate here. Go look at the equipment list in these match results and see what is winning.
