I have barrels from shilen, mcgowen, and one of sinman's barrels. They have all shot great, with no complaints. I did have some problems with my mcgowen initially, it had a rough chamber. That was before they had their own reamer for 260AI, and Dan at McGowen was more than helpful making it right. I can't say I would have preferred not to have the downtime without the barrel, but their customer service was rock solid. I personally don't think you can go wrong with any of the big names out there. With any luck I can pick up another action and start shopping for another barrel myself!
