Of the companies that install their own barrels (i.e. Pacnor, Shilen, Shaw, etc.), who do you like best and why? Looking to rebarrel a 35-year-old M700 that when I received had been ridden hard and put up wet, so is a solid 4 MOA gun right now. Planning on factory contour.

I had a rifle that was rebarreled by Hart and it shot super well.

I had Douglass do my 338-06 they matched the old barrel contour so it fit the stock perfectly, shoots almost any reasonable load very well.

I like PacNor. Great customer service and their barrels shoot well and are reasonably priced. Also they are close so I could go up there and pound on the desk should something not work out.
So far I haven't had the need to pound desk.

Pacnor has always performed well, Penny is very prompt with updates and their quoted delivery times have always been pretty close. If they say it will 4 weeks that is when it will be ready.

My vote goes to Pacnor and Penny, excellent product and customer service.
You can call me what ever you want to, just don't call me late for dinner.

I do like PacNor barrels. I have been to PacNor and seen it done. I have also spoke with Krieger at length about their methods and they both did it the same way. It's a production show much like they do it at the factory but only one at a time. I firmly believe if you are looking for that last bit of precision you are better of with a precision rifle specialist.

Probably talking about the way each of them install barrels is the same.
