I think the big thing about ER Shaw barrels is the inconsistancy. You can get some that are take drivers, I have 2 and I just ordered a 7saum from gunshack. One is a 10/22 barrel, impressive accuracy, shoots and cleans easy. I have a 308 barrel, it shoots ok, I dont think it is any better then a factory savage barrel. To continue on the inconsistany theme, you can look around and see alot of barrels that shoot really good and some not so much. I think what you get with a Shilen, Kreiger Broughton or the other premium barrels is that they have tighter specs as well as use a more consistant grade and hardness of steel to give more consistant results.
Just my opinion, I could be wrong.
