Robert, I've got 2 Rock Creek Barrels,(30BR) both shoot damn good and clean easy, never had a problem with either and the next gun I build for hunting or BR will have a Rock Creek too!! Bartlein, Hart, Shilen and dozens more make really good barrels,, just like Randy Robinette said, "there are lots of good bullet maker's out there" same thing with barrels, I'm sure every now & then everybody makes a dog but,,,,,,,,, today they are fewer & farther between!! My suggestion, grab a name brand barrel and hang with it, in this game it's more than just the barrel,,,,,,,
the wind is my friend,,,,,,,,,
