Exactly my point. You put it well. The problem --if you consider it a problem -- is the other 59 posts in this thread don't add anything to that simple statement. They seem to have a Facebook-type social me-too function. Imagine someone new searching the forum for information.

Well I guess I see it different Charles people like to be informed. I think there are tons of threads like this, If I read a thread and don't care for it or it's content I don't read it again. Looks like a lot of people are reading this for what it's worth to them. They don't have to come back to it either if they think it's a Facebook type post.
Some people like to read new product reports and how they are doing in matches, so I guess I don't understand ...........

Many shooter just buy what is available. In the olden days, the majority of competition barrels were cut rifle. As the experience cut rifle artist retired of went to that big barrel shop in the sky, more advanced methods of producing quality barrels at a more reasonable price. It was lesser expensive to produce the button rifled barrels and they seemed to hold their own on the range. I've used both, and rarely find much to complain about with the current suppliers. Cut rifle barrel are more expensive, but are making a comeback when in the hands of an experienced barrel smith. Rock Creek, is the new kid on the block and they are trying to give the shooting world another option. My Border is no longer available in the US, but right now, it's the best shooting barrel I have. Choose for your self, or take your gunsmiths recommendation.

Fred I agree with that 100% .....People think every barrel is going to be a hammer (not so)
Other factor that can affect a great barrel
Poor ignition , poor bedding , and shooter inability
I have heard where someone has taken off a barrel and someone else has put it on and it then shoots with the best of them . So barrels are just one aspect of the game.

There often seems to be the assumption
that either the Platform or operator is the problem, not the barrel. I don't think that is often the case; not within the group of folks who have shot for awhile. It's pretty amazing how good a mediocre shooter can look with a "kooked Up" Rifle. There are barrels and then there are barrels.

Hasn't that all ways been the case?
With C/F BR you at least have the possibility of tweaking your loads to get a particular barrel to hum a decent tune. But with .22r/f you need that extra % to be there in the first place.
Personally I like threads such as this one. Its always good to be able to canvas opinions, and if a thread has 60 posts all saying cut barrels work, I'm happy to read them.

BTT for Charles
???
Yes, a couple people have finally come out and said that the method of manufacture doesn't, by itself, guarantee either a great or poor barrel. I'm suppose to comment on this?
OK. I agree. It doesn't.
