[QUOTE="HandgunHTR, post: 2789892, member: 126524"] For those who don't know, Preferred is basically the same company as Match Grade Machine. I have been buying Encore and Contender barrels from MGM for almost 15 years. Of the dozens that I have had/still have, I have only had one "bad" one. It was a 6.5TCU Contender barrel that came with a very short throat. It shot the <120 grain bullets acceptably, but I couldn't get a 140 to chamber without seating the bullet way too far into the case. I sent it back to them so they could open up the throat, but it came back not much better than it went to them. I ended up trading it to a buddy who didn't mind shooting light bullets. I got an MGM 7-30 waters barrel in trade. Overall every one of them cleaned up well and shot great. I just put the money down on my first "regular" rifle barrel from PBB, and I am confident that it will be right in line with my expectations. [/QUOTE]
