At this point I have no intention of using anything but Lilja ever again...awesome customer service, Dan Lilja is awesome and spent time talking to be about barrels and answering all my questions...they had my barrel on the shel and it shipped that day and was on the bench at my gun smith within 2-3 days. You get what you pay for, and the extra $ for a Lilja is well worth it.

I too have had good luck with Lilja and they are a family owned long time barrel builder. Another good one I have had great luck with is Pac Nor. I have a savage action with them right now.
