hahah ellobo. I was pleasantly surprised with the barrel. I took a gamble with it because it only cost 120 as compared to 320 for the next best thing. As cheap as they are just shoot the crap out of them and when the groups open up buy a new one. My rifle is glass bedded but other than that I haven't done anything to the rifle to make it more accurate. A guy at Sinclair International told me he won competitions with a A&B barrel. They're blue is a little darker than the action but nothing real noticeable.
