$1400 for a Shaw barrel ?

A Marlin XLC (camo dipped) in 7mm08 costs less than $350.00. It weighs 6.25 pounds. It has a fine trigger. It will shoot sub MOA all day long. Pillar bedded.
If you want something different for the price of a barrel vise, one headspace gauge, a barrel nut wrench,and barrels, you can have a 243, 308, 338 Fed, or 358 Win and dozens of wildcats.

Only upgrades on my two were glass bedding the action, a glassed in dowel to stiffen up the fore end and a Remington ADL steel guard (drop in). 3 shot groups went from 1" to 3/4"

What's up, Larry? Why is it your ass can't take a hint and stay away? How many usernames have you been through now?

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.
