mcknight's experience has been very similar to mine. Have owned a bunch of Ruger rifles, a few with the original Douglas barrels, many with barrels by Wilson, and many with the the hammer-forged barrels Ruger has been making for around 20 years now. While there were a few not-so-good Wilson barrels, the vast majority were pretty darn good.
