I have two and I love them. I have a 28" .260 Rem and a 26" .300 Win mag, both varmint contours. I just picked up a McGowen 28" .308 small shank bull and after the experience I have had with them, I think I might stick with Walther's for later builds. It is kind of funny though, I had a vendor here tell me that the Lothar Walther barrels are not good match barrels but great hunting barrels. I thought that was a little silly, but to each their own.
