Their web sight indicates that they only make 22 through 30 caliber in SS Select Match Grade.

I could very well be wrong on this, but I don't think Shilen "sets-out" to make (or not) a "Select Match" barrel. I think that they are made from the same blanks, using the same tools, in the same manner. It is after manufacture that they become "Select Match" - when they are inspected and they meet the more stringent requirements.

If they don't have a separate "Select Match" category for above 30 cals, the barrel that you get may/not meet "Select Match" criteria. I'd bet it will still be a good shooter.

I'm with Bill. I've had 3 of their barrels in 338, all will out shoot me and probably 95% of the other shooters out there.
