[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1110121, member: 24284"] 22+ yrs. ago, while I was in gunsmithing school, Wilson sold us barrels for 50% of 'dealer' price. I used a lot of 'um. They shot well, as long as they've got a few 'fouling' shots through them and you don't expect 1/2" to 1" accuracy for more than 5-6 shots. Bore scoping shows why...... I expect more than 5-6 shots accurate shots from a custom shambered 'custom' barrel. Maybe they've changed. But common sense tells me that you can't buy two identical custom rifle barrels where one costs $140 less than the other. Actually, if Wilson is still located in Branford, CT. , the cost of 'labor' would be higher, there. The only way you can expect that kind of price difference is if they're imported from China or India...... I'd expect that Cooper has their 'pick' of the barrels they use and they're not the same as your 'gunsmith' is peddeling. [/QUOTE]
