thanks Butch

I can get them for $330 each shipping included shilen select ...….but I will keep that in mind Butch

david I don't think you can go wrong with either... think im using 3 shilen's and 4 criterions at the moment in savage actions... cant tell the difference in accuracy... only thing I can see is the shilen might clean just a little easier... but both clean easy.. may just be in my head...I have no reason to try any other maker...

CBI from Northland

I did 3 Shilen prefits on Savage actions, all shoot better than I expected.

I got the standard not the select

 

[Fast14riot]

I have 3 CBI barrels and they're all excellent.

 

[butchlambert]

A piece of advice. The Shilen match grade will do what you want.

I had a shilen prefit from northland and it shot good. You would be happy with one.

Depends on what bullets you wanna shoot.

Shilen Savage Pre-fits usually have short freebore. So they're great for mid weight bullets.

The Criterion pre-fits usually have longer freebore than the Shilens, so they're better for the heavier / longer bullets.

At least that's been my experience.

Built 4 20 Practicals on Savage actions with the Shilen Select Match Grade barrels. All 4 have been fantastic.
