a local acquaintence has done that with a A & B and also in a couple of other calibers with A & Bs and ER Shaws.. he has had real good luck with both...

I think Roger Bartsche here also did a barrel in 257.. but I can't remember if it was a Roberts or a 250 Savage...

I have one A&B barrel, accuracy is quite good but the bore is rough and requires quite a bit of elbow grease to get it clean.

Personally if I'm going to pay someone to cut a nice chamber and properly install a new barrel, I'll put the extra money into a higher quality tube.

The AB barrels can be hit or miss. A 22-250 I have does a nice pattern for a shot gun. A .308 heavy does ok sometimes under moa sometimes not.A .35 wehlen converted to a .358 x.404 IMP does rather well. The 25 caliber that Sea Fire speaks of is a 250-3000 Shaw barrel on a Mod 200 Syevens and it is a charmer. Now this is after all the triggers have had a lot of work. If you are looking for a AB barrel to be used on a hunting rifle out to 250 yds. or so my experience indicates it would be OK.

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

Not sure what they cost but I'm a huge fan of Pac-Nor 3 groove barrels. I have about 8 of em and haven't had a clunker yet knock wood.
