First thing I noticed with my first Krieger barrel was the smoothness and evenness as I pushed a patch thru. I myself feel Lilja is about the best barrel you can put on a gun.

But, I have several old remingtons ~70's and 80's, and let me tell ya, you look at them thru a bore scope, rifling is nice and sharp, smooth.

I owned a few 700P's, about 2001, and I couldnt' believe the tooling marks they left in the throat, and the roughness of the barrels. It took me over an hour to clean out the copper in a 300RUM.
