one of the local guys bought a similar number of McGowan barrels. he has been very happy with the results from what I heard him tell me when I bought a few off him. if you are going to spin it down to rem sporter, a smaller barrel maker may treat you right and if there is any less accuracy, it won't be much. The discount price is well under half of any of the big B's.....just thinking out loud. FWIW, he is running 16 weeks on his orders.
