So far I have gathered that:
1. you can see tooling marks with the naked eye in a Douglas barrel "but they don't matter".
2. A Douglas is good enough for hunting...but so is a rifle from Wal-mart that costs less than a Douglas blank.
3. A Douglas may foul more than the other top names, but it doesn't matter, it is the shooter that makes a gun accurate.
4. A Douglas costs near as much as the others, but there is no need to spend another $100 even though you are already $1500 deep.
5. Douglas is not usually listed in the winner's circle, but that is because the winners are lemmings. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
