Rost, I own only one, the other two belonging to family. But they have and will knock down 1/2". I however, do not possess the skill to do that each and every time and make no claims otherwise.
I had read Shaw hovered around "above average" myself in regards to their barrels, and had also read they had made great strides in quality. I figured with stags reputation for customer service and their 1/2" guarantee why the heck not? I remain very pleased and It has definetly been one of my better purchases in regards to value/accuracy
