I've no Kreigers in the stable and can't really know why. Obviously they enjoy a very nice reputation and it would suprise me if the wares,didn't rate the billing.
Might throw one on the next 223AI or 22-250AI,for the hell of it......................

On my competition and hunting rifles Krieger and Broughton make up 90% of my barrels with Krieger getting the majority by far.

Stick-do I hear the possible making of that 22/250 AI 8 Twist in a Krieger coming up.......It would be a gas to build and then go and blow up Marvin the Moose with it come fall (or at least a Sitka).
Just a thought

I've most the parts for the next 22-250AI,on hand(modest contour/length,housed in a Classic handle) and am contemplating if I need another(beefed contour/24" length,housed in an A5).
I'm bad that way,when I get going on a chambering,I typically build 3 rifles to support it. A small,medium and large.
Sister doting upon Momma's Pink 25-284,sorta took some heat away from fretting her Deer Rifle,so I've managed to reach the top of the prority list,once again.................(grin)

Then I think you should be on the phone and order yourself a 8, you got a birthday coming up (like we need a reason) and should spoil yourself just a bit......grins
Think they'll buy into it?

Mike makes a wicked good 22 caliber tube. Food for thought.
Don't tell him I sent you though, he hates making them.

have had five Douglass barrels done, never had one that would not shoot as soon as I found the right recipe.

The OP's been waiting 15 years for your opinion. Some like to thoroughly mull a question over before answering - I guess.
