[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1964016, member: 60453"] I had a gunsmith put an E. R. Shaw barrel on my Remington in 35 Whelen, and it shoots very well, indeed. I have a couple of rifles with their barrels and they are good shooters. They will also install and chamber the barrel to your action, and they will work with any of the M77 variants. A short or long chambered Shaw contour barrel in any of their contours is $195 in 4140 steel and $290 for Stainless. I got a Remington No. 2 Contour with a 1 in 14 twist, 26 inches long and it cost $220. William Trotter barreled the action, trued the bolt and matched the chamber to my other Whelen, so they will shoot the same reloads and the brass matches from the rifles to 0.001 inch. I'm still thinking of having both rifles Ackley Improved just for the longer brass life that results, though with a muzzle brake, I might also like the extra 75 to 125fps it would give me. I'll have to chronograph my Shaw barrel first, though. We also put it in a Magpul stock and mounted a Shepherd P2 3x10 scope on it with Leupold rings, and I bought it used with a Timney trigger in it. It kicks, but it shoots Speer 250's into around 0.8 inches, edge to edge. Basically ragged holes. Its even better with the Gameking 225 grain bullets. Not a barn burner, but it hits with real authority. Shaw retooled a few years ago, and they make pretty good barrels now. [/QUOTE]
