[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1262951, member: 4566"] A HUMMER barrel is a combination of so many different factors that NO MAKER can build them at will. All makers build bad tubes and they all build GREAT tubes. Any of the popular makers will most likely build a tube that can OUTSHOOT any of us anyway. I have run barrels from Hart, Schneider, Kreiger, Pac-Nor, Mcgowen, Lilja, Douglas, CBI and others I cant name off the top of my head. All shot well, cleaned well and lasted IF TREATED NICELY. Who makes the best barrels is a fun internet battle but in reality a completely unanswerable question. I don't like waiting so I generally build off of something I can get ahold of RIGHT NOW and am perfectly happy. There have been studies done where a guy bought a 40" tube and cut it in half to build two IDENTICAL tubes for short range bench rest. He used the same reamer, action, stock everything. The two barrels shot differently and needed different loads to perform well. Barrels are too complex to reduce to a one is better than the other question. [/QUOTE]
