Did a search and didn't find what I was looking for.

These barrels are backordered at Midway until December, but I'm curious if anybody here has one and if so what your experiences have been with it in terms of accuracy.
Bought one last fall but have not had the chance to shoot it yet.
Very good price on them. I don't have an action for one yet, but may get one for a future suppressed rifle build.
Every Shaw barrel I have ever owned has been great. Shoots right there with the best of them.
my friend has one on order.
i'm curious to see it as well.
I have one got it because well it was cheap and I was curious to see if it was any good. I was quite surprised its a pretty good shooter .75 or less. Loading H4895 getting 2850 with a 155 SMK.
Exactly the same experience here.Quote:

First two groups at 100yds with Silver State Armory factory loaded 168 SMKs.

I am also waiting on midwayusa to get more of the 20" threaded .308 barrels in stock. Midwayusa says should be in stock 11/09/12. I hunt in the woods alot and think the shorter barrel will help in moveing around. And as long as it shoots 1 moa or better i will be happy. Sad thing is I have less than 20 rounds in my new 308 10fxp. But a guy wants what he wants though.
The barrel is heavy. Just so you're not surpirsed when it shows up. My rifle isn't something that I want to be humping all over creation as it's well over 10#. If you want a stalking rifle, get a sporter weight barrel and have it cut down by a 'smith to 20".
yeah. im wanting a heavy barrel.the weight dont bother me. m
Ok, it's you carrying it.
yeah. but luckily i dont have to pack it far when i hunt. 500 yards at the most. i live way back in the sticks.
I love mine! It's shoots great with factory match loads. Will be hand loading over the winter for it. You just cannot beat the price for what you get!!
I guess I will see if it actually comes in on time. I placed an order and it has already moved to 11/18/12 as expected in stock date. Hope it shoots good...
i to have one on order and now they are saying 3/12/2013!
sorry, but what is the OD at the muzzle? (just prior to the threads) want to make sure the brake i order will be flush, thanks in advnace
I just seen that. Why do they even show it on their web page if it is that far out? This makes no sense.Quote:

Now the date is December 15, 2012
A word about E.R. Shaw.....
I have one of their barrels in .243 that I got from a GunShack group buy on here. It is great, shoots extremely well, and arrived in the timeframe expected. I have another one I ordered in 6.5 Creedmoor for a build I was planning for this deer season. The expected delivery date was June 2012, and it still is not here. The owner of GunShack that puts these group buys together and purchases quite a few barrels from Shaw can't even get them to respond or tell him when to expect the shipments. They make really good barrels at a great price, but it seems that they are way, WAY behind in their production, and or severely understaffed. I heard that they got a huge AR15 barrel contract this year and that has taken the bulk of their resorces and manpower.....don't know if that's true or not. No telling when we will get our barrels.
