[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 526121, member: 2736"] I think you are on to something Gary. Not being a big name in shooting I'm sure I did not get the best they had to offer but I dont like having to send a barrel back to the maker for several reasons. after waiting 3 or 4 months time is getting short and I don't like explaining the customer why his rifle will be much later. The second reason is that I should not have to reject any barrel (The barrel maker should do that before it is sent). I believe that the barrel makers should treat "All" of there customers the same and give them the best they can make. And I do not want to have to re barrel any rifle twice. I have had to reject barrels from many barrel makers and have only a few that have ended up near perfect and those are the ones that I prefer and base my accuracy guarantee on. I did not to mean to imply that Douglas barrels were all bad, just that the ones I had tried were not very good along with others. I know that world class shooters get special treatment and that's good for there business, I just don't like getting seconds and I buy from those that take care of all there customers. I don't have the customers time to play with and If a barrel maker sends me a piece of crap I have to make it right with the customer,and that maker will not see my orders any more. Some barrels just out perform any other barrel and these are the ones that the record holders are looking for and the only way to find them is to shoot them. The term they use for those barrels is "its a Hummer"And I don't have the luxury of trying 4 or 5 barrels to get one. Also If I do reject one, I expect to have a good response and service from the maker.And if I don't get a satisfactory response I don't use his barrels any more. You mentioned Lilja and I don't have to defend him, His barrels do that quite well. Every one of his barrels that I have received have been great and out performed my expectations of sub 1/2 moa for hunting rifles (Most have been under 1/4 MOA) and some have managed less than 1/10 MOA. In fact I have had two barrels rejected from Lilja out of all the barrels I have ordered from him and guess who rejected them, He did !!!!! and called to let me know that he did not like the barrel and was not going to send it. But would send me a replacement in a couple of weeks and when I received them they were perfect. I have had good luck with several other brands as well and will not hesitate to use them if the customer wishes. And as I said, I hope Douglas Is doing better. My point is that the guy that orders ONE barrel should get a quality product even if it is the only one that he ever buys because he is just as important as others that buy hundreds of barrels.
