[QUOTE="rost495, post: 37200, member: 1768"] I know that the match winner in the long range (out to 1000 yards) agg was shooting a Schneider barrel as always. I've had one shilen on a service rifle and it shot very well. Not any better or worse than any of the Krieger, Blackstar, or Pac NOr barrels though. My experience with Douglas was very much less than satisfactory. But you have to be careful of what all you put into the thought train. Often what wins at Benchrest, doesn't at Highpower etc... There are slightly different needs between our sports. Pick any proven barrel for a hunting rifle and you should be fine. If you are extreme about .1 type groups go look at the benchrest results in PS mag to see the barrels used mostly. But be aware that the smith makes as much or more difference than barrel brand. As to 5C giving more velocity, I have seen that in all 3 and 5 twist barrels. Not just c or r etc.... So I dont' think thats reliant on just one maker, but simply the way the bullets react to the odd number of grooves and lands. Jeff [/QUOTE]
