[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 2209853, member: 65338"] I’d be mad beyond belief if a smith did that to me. That’s like finding out a shop replaced the transmission on your truck when all you wanted was an oil change. I’ve heard people say X-caliber barrels shoot good. I’ve had one good one and a couple that didn’t shoot so great. Fighting fliers in a 6mm creed X-caliber barrel at the moment. Accuracy is in the eye of the beholder and I think I’m pickier than most hunters/varminters. So what’s great to one person might not be what I personally call “shoots great!”. Anyhow, point being that X-caliber has been hit and miss for me. Not a barrel brand I purchase anymore. Ask your smith where your old Lilja barrel is at. He has no right to keep it if you do not say he can. Would be very easy to see if the barrel still has life with a scope inspection. Since it’s already threaded and head spaced for your action, it would also be very easy to screw it back on [/QUOTE]
