[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 904899, member: 6777"] Back in the 70's Shilen was about the best "production" barrel blanks you could buy. Then along came people like Kreiger and others in the 80's and 90's with high tech manufacturing equipment that blew them away in competition shooting. I don't know how well they have upgraded their equipment over the years. (I'm sure they have to stay in business) For a hunting gun I would buy Shilen over a Douglas,Green mountain Etc. For a target gun I would spend the extra for a Kreiger or Lilja (if I had the money) or at least buy the premium Shilen "Air gauged or Target gauged" barrel. Much, much better than the standard grade. [/QUOTE]
