[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1345057, member: 4191"] No other piece of the rifle plays a larger role to good precision than the barrel. If you're content with 3/4" to 1" groups at 100yds, McGowan might get you there with good gunsmithing and sufficient load development effort. I wouldn't venture a strong opinion one way or the other. Perhaps you can find a gunsmith fitting McGowen barrels to actions that will guarantee the precision you desire. Custom rifle gunsmith's using Krieger, Bartlein, Brux, and Lilja barrels will commonly guarantee that their completed rifles will shoot 1/2moa 3-shot groups. So it's virtually certain that the precision you seek will be obtained with one of these barrels, provided the gunsmithing work is up to par. There are retail outlets that try to keep some of these barrels in stock on a steady basis, which will greatly reduce your wait time compared to ordering a new barrel directly from the barrel maker.
