[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 2642021, member: 12170"] I don't think you are misunderstanding. Perhaps I didn't explain well enough. Match grade is a subjective term. Any company can use it. "Our barrels are match grade" Ok, so what does that mean exactly? The top quality producers will say things like our barrels are air gauged to .0001" of dimensional uniformity and are free from any tooling marks. Shilen, Kreiger, Bartlein, Lilja, and more will give you a standard that they are producing barrels to. The point really is just because a barrel says match grade doesn't necessarily mean anything, since there is no standard or definition that says a match grade barrel possesses these 'X' number of characteristics. That is the true point I was trying to make. Of course if you buy a barrel from any of the above names, including the ones you named, you are getting a top quality barrel produced to the highest standards. Ive used barrels from Lilja, Kreiger, Bartlein, and Shilen. They all produce excellent barrels and given to top level shooters, are capable of wining whatever game you decide to play. [/QUOTE]
