How are you connected to X-Caliber?

I am a dealer for there barrels

Don't we have a for sale section?

I stopped in at X caliber a few months ago when I was passing thru. Facility and quality looked good, but for the price point I can have a Shilen. I'm sure you'll tell me that you are as good or better than Shilen, but for a barrel w/o a reputation, I would expect a price break. In 5-8 years when you prove yourself - then you can price yourself with the big boys.

I bought a contoured Shilen for $40 less than your barrel.

Don't mind me asking what did you pay for your shilen

Anyway not gonna get into a p###ING match who's barrels better but 215.00 shipped for a polished stainless contured barrel and 230.00 for matte up to 28" is pretty good.if you got a shilen for less than 40.00 than those prices you got one hellava deal and good for you. Never have faulted anybody for that.

$175

Tell me were I can buy a new stainless contured 24"barrel for 175.00 because i wanna buy one.

You can pm me the same info if you like.

It's not S/S. The S/S are $250

CroMo Shilens aren't lapped.

Exactly! Boom roasted!

Product Information:

These benchrest-quality barrels are made to impressive tolerances. All match and select match barrels are air gauged on sensitive equipment and stress relieved at the factory. Shilen's barrels have probably set more world records than any other barrel made, because so many shooters rely on them.

Wouldnt that be lapping to stress relieve after contouring?

Listen guys I didn't come on here to get onto an arguement about barrels all I can tell you is there a very good barrel for a very good price. STRESS RELIEVED, hand lapped drilled on the best machine made. I personally have shilen,Lilja,Douglas,Pac-nor and even Green Mountain barrels and they all shoot good. Bottom line is you will never know how good there barrel is untill you try one. Over the years I have heard somebody complain about every barrel out there and the best barrel in the world can't be made to shoot on a crappy smith job. Simply put if you want an X-caliber email me I will help you all I can if you want a different barrel buy it. Respectfully Enough said.

Nope. It's a heat treatment.

If you give Shilen's site a careful look you'll see CrMo barrels aren't lapped but they can be on request for an extra charge.

Shilen is lapping for free starting Jan. 1, 2016.

I'm w/ you Sherm, I didn't want to get into a "mine is better than yours" discussion. I was impressed with the facility and quality of the barrels. The only point I was trying to make was the reputation vs price. I'm sure I will eventually get an X caliber barrel, I have a "European" build coming up in 8x68. I don't know if you offer an 8mm blank, and yes I want it in CM. Nothing says "old world" like a 1000grit polished and blued rifle in a nice piece of Bastogne.
If you don't offer a 8mm blank - somewhere down the road I will be doing another 35 cal or a 9.3 build - I'll give a close look when that one comes up.

Sherm, are you in Kalispel area? I'm south of Billings, but occasionally get freight to/thru Kalispel.

Yes I am in the Kalispell area.
