RE: Best Rifle Barrels and why
I guess my only issue with Douglas, is I used to live beside the factory when I went to colleg and knew a guy who worked there. I don't know if I would have let him be dog catcher. He got me to get a douglas barrel on a 270 and ended up being a nightmare. The rifling was boogered up in the middle. And the only way I could see it was with a borescope. Hense my like for borescopes. They made it right in a jiffy. But once bitten and all.
Also, I have talked to alot of gunsmiths all over the east coast and a few said they would rebarrel anything but a douglas. One is my gunsmith in Westminster, MD, the other, you know oldelk. So I went with krieger. I liked the single cut idea. But my gunsmith made a 300RUM at the same time while building mine with a Dan Lilja. It fouls alot less than mine. And under a borescope, it looks like a mirror. I know also fouling has alot to do with the chamber job. So who knows. Overall I am happy with Krieger.
