Wilson barrel blanks

[fatjake]

Anyone ever used a Wilson on a rifle?

Found a blank that has been fluted for $200. I just never see anyone use them.
Is it worth the $200 or should I spend another $150 and buy a krieger, brux, broughten....Etc

Before I spend $400 in barrel work I want to buy it once


Thanks

I do not have personal experience with Wilson barrels. Although I have not heard very promising things about them. I would spend the extra money on a well known and performing barrel. I have used Bartlein, Shilen, and Rock Creek. My favorite at the moment is Rock Creek. They are the easiest barrel I have every used to break in. 15 rounds and it was good to go and great accuracy. Good luck in your search.

I think cooper arms uses Wilson on some of their models. Not sure if that's good or bad.
