Don't be disheartened. The Benchmarks and tight bore Lilja's have both won plenty of matches, and they can win plenty more.
Sure some guys have to have the "latest and greatest" and that is fine.
But always remember "shooters win matches" not barrels.

I agree, there is a tendency to be a lot of hype. I still shoot with a BM barrel that has well OVER 50,000 rds. through it, is it pitted, you bet, does it still shoot, yes and very well.
It's just that important for those to stay on top that need to have the latest. Some true, where other is hype. JMO
Thinking back,the biggest pleasure I've had shooting this game is when i bought a rifle and pistol from the same builder who's friends claim both of the barrels were worn out and pieces of crap and turned out both shot great Aggs. and a record target.
