[QUOTE="howco, post: 1289885, member: 70652"] It will definitely give you a clean look and awesome balance. My barrel shot everything great from the first shot, granted I didn't run hundreds of rounds through it. I did just the opposite though, I went with a proof, based on gunsmith recommendation for a lightweight build. Can't say a proof will out shoot a steel barrel, but mine has shot no worse than premium barrels on my other builds. That particular smith possibly couldn't have barreled enough proofs to draw a performance conclusion, but as stated, I understand the setup and transition to actions is more difficult. [/QUOTE]
