I'd be willing to bet (and I don't how any of us could prove this) out of 100 barrels from Hart, Krieger, Shilen, Douglas or Schneider we could not tell the difference in a blind test.
Agreed...
If it makes you feel better knowing your barrel was hand cut by Peruvian Monks while chanting gregorian hymns then good luck to you.
The original question was whether Douglas made good hunting barrels. This from a New York Still Hunter. Do you actually think he is gonna measure his load development groups to the nearest 0.0001" ????
BenchRest Competition is a great sport but has very little to do with actual hunting. National Highpower is a much closer related sport and there, Douglas Barrels are quite popular....
