I've had good luck and bad luck with ER Shaw. The bad luck was a long time ago.
I have Shilen and Douglas barrels also. If I were wanting 1/2 MOA I'd probably go with either and get their "premium". If I were building a hunting rifle I'd probably go with ER Shaw especially with the calibers you're talking about.. The last rifle I built was with ER Shaw - a 375 Whelen AI. I only have Iron sights on it, but it's plenty accurate for what I wanted it for. The bore looks excellent. It doesn't foul with copper or lead. I use a lot of Shilens and will tell you that it is a waste of money using a select match barrel over the match barrel for a hunting rifle. The only advantage is between your ears.

Put a Lilja #5 with a 1 in 12 on my STA. They'd be my #1 choice.

I guess I got lucky with my A&B from Midway on my 35 Whelen Imp.

My Benchmark 35 is excellent

I have a CM Krieger #3 .358 1-10 twist and a Benchmark #3 1-9.5 Twist right now. One of them will become another 35 Whelen and the other will go on my 35 Newton. I can't imagine either will let me down.
