[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 905739, member: 8362"] Do not buy a 1 1/4" unturned blank unless you intend on leaving it that diameter and just polishing it. The cost to have it contoured outside of the factory will be more than the cost of the blank. I do prefer the Shilen over the Douglas (when buying a contoured blank) because the Shilen is polished to about 180/220 git whereas the Douglas is rough turned. The only barrel I have returned to its' maker in the last 15yrs. was a Douglas, she just wasn't gona' shoot. I'll agree with josh, there's nthing wrong with Shilens' match Grade. When it comes to barrels people seem to prefer what they already own, kind of like asking which AR is the best, they are justifing their purchase. [/QUOTE]
