I've used Douglas and Shilen in the past but looking for "economy" alternatives as this is really just a camp gun. Going from 7.6239 to 6mm Creedmoor. Thanks in advance.

I have had them rebarrel 3 different rifles and they have all been excellent shooters. Last edited by wildhobbybobby; 03/26/20. Life is like a purple antelope on a field of tuna fish...

His shoots almost as well as mine, and mine is MOA or better with fire-formed, neck sized hand loads. Original barrel. As said above, Shaws are a good value. Last edited by las; 03/26/20.
