A former member did some real good work in 1000 yd competition using a Benchmark.

I chambered a couple light weight barrels cannot recall contour but they were tiny. Made a couple of light 284s with them for a buddy of mine. When I looked through the headstock and down the tubes, I was amazed how straight they were. Both of the guns shot well and cleaned up pretty good.

I have used several barrels from Benchmark and they are outstanding. You will NOT go wrong with their barrels.
