Have a few Shilen barrel rifles and quite happy with them. Gents I shoot with on a regular basis at range we're members certainly don't hesitate to buy one. Couple of years ago we went to the Shilen Open house held in February. When walking into their place, a couple of other range members were leaving and each were carrying at least four barrels they'd purchased off Shilens rack of barrels accumulated since their last open house that were canceled orders, kinda rejects and etc. I would buy two of them....yep, they shot well for me.
