bearcatBest Barrel???????
I'm looking for experience here, who makes the best, most acurate barrels. Looking at Rock Creek Barrels, Shilen, Douglas, Krieger, PacNor, Hart, ect...... The Rock Creeks are the 5R technology that the Military uses in thier 308 bolt guns, anyone know about these? Thanks
By the way it will be going on a 257 WSM

NorthSniperThe longrange.com guy's love the 5R cut barrels, this is what I plan to put on my rifle as well.

IdahoCTDI asked Bruce Baer this same question recently. His response was Lawton, Hart, and Krieger. I have never heard of Lawton but if he says they are good I'd take his word for it.
