Shilen price increase coming...

Housing prices have gone up 105% since 2015, and wages have only gone up about 35-40%. So 14 percent increase doesn't sound terrible.
Yeah. But housing prices are really dependent on market conditions. They can fall 20% in a few months in a recession.
 
I ordered a Savage Varmint prefit 6BR one last night from Midway of all places. Surprised to see one in stock for a fair price.
They also had both PTG gauges in stock.

I have had two Shilen, ultra match, rachet rifled barrels that I used for F-class. They both shot under 1/2 MOA. The other Shilen barrels I used were all well under 1 MOA. If I built another rifle, that is the only barrel I would use. I have a Krieger custom match barrel that I shoot and it is a 1/2 MOA barrel also.
 
I have two Shilens that shoot nicely under 1/2 MOA at 100 or 200 if I do my part. Using dedicated Lapua and Starline brass for my serious loads. Winchester brass for fun/practice but that brass is not consistently under 1/2 MOA in 223 rifle. Both barrels are ratchet rifling, SS ultras, 4 groove. The 223 was chambered by Shilen for me to bolt onto a Rem 700 action, A8 contour. It is very heavy. The 30 is chambered for 30 Major, contour as speced by my gunsmith.
I have been told that trying to improve 22 rimfire barrels for benchrest started Shilen's design for ratchet rifling. Now it's available in several calibers. It does seem to clean up better and faster than conventional rifling.
