[QUOTE="Send One, post: 947203, member: 77123"] Hey Dan. Good Wife you have there! There are I am sure several good manufacturers out there. I have owned K&P (now out of business I believe), Shillen, Broughton and most recently Krieger. The K&P's shot great as well as the Broughton. Shillen was ok. I have had what I consider outstanding luck of my Krieger barrel. Just finished a 264 win mag long range hunting rig and it has performed quite well out to 700 yds, haven't had an opportunity to stretch it legs out any further just yet. My most recent Krieger is 27-1/2" long and LV contour, which I did not have fluted. It sits in an magnum fill weight A-5 McMillan, so it weighs in about 15-1/2 lbs including scope, rings and bases. Not something I necessarily want to carry through the mountains, but a deadly bean field rig and that is what I built it for. I will caution you before you call Krieger, they have a 10 month lead time if ordering direct. However, look up Bruno's Shooters Supply, they keep a pretty good rotation of barrels in and that is where I ended up purchasing mine. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
