I have both, a Shilen on a Remington 700 chambered in 204 Ruger and a McGowen on a Savage in 6BR. The Shilen is an excellent barrel and groups as well as I had hoped it would. The McGowen is an excellent barrel and it's accuracy is starting to border on the unbelievable. It is now shooting five shot groups at 100 yards in the .2s on a consistent basis and I have gotten it in the .1s. From my personal experience Shilen makes a great barrel, McGowen makes an astounding barrel. Get the McGowen.
