[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2357569, member: 24284"] 15-20yrs ago, I used a lot of Shilens barrels, I always ordered the "Select Match". I scope every barrel I get before setting it up in my lathe for chambering. At first I was pleased with how they looked inside, and most of all how they shot. Then, I started finding tool marks in some. I'd send them back and they'd be lapped again. After several like that, I started using Hart. The barrel making business changed hands, and as of Jan. of 2016 when the new owners took over, all barrels are now lapped. All SS was lapped by the previous owner, but you had to request and pay 'extra' to have a CM lapped. In the mean time, I was using Harts, Kriegers and many others. It's just been within the past yr that I started to look at Shilen, again. The 'proof' will be in how these 'new' Shilen barrels shoot. I may make their swap meet one of these years. I'm just far enough away it'd be a 2 day, over night trip. [/QUOTE]
