At approx. $100.00 over the cost of a Shilen pre-fit barrel, the Benchmark and Brux barrels, while I am sure they are quite good, will not reach the market share of the other well regarded pre-fit barrels. Hopefully they will lower their pricing soon, as I would love to have alternatives to what is currently available.

If your looking for a standard SAAMI chamber,length,contour, small shank then a Shilen prefit is a good deal.

If your looking for something a little more exotic Benchmark does not jack up the cost for bells and whistles, so far anyway.
Order to door is quoted as 6-8 weeks for a custom chamber, custom length, custom contour. Same price,$400
Hoping the 6-8 weeks is accurate.

Shilen charged me over $500 just for the large shank option.
Jim Briggs is getting us Sav owners a good deal for sure.

Two weeks delivery time for mine. I think thats hard to beat in for a custom barrel.
