Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Why does everybody look down on Shilen barrels?

I only have/use one. Stainless select, 1/14 twist, chambered in 35 Whelen. It flat out SHOOTS and cleans up easy. I've put nothing but factory ammo through it so far, but it does this every time....and I make no claim at being an outstanding shot. My experience with Shilen is limited, but it's been a great experience so far....
