E.R Shaw barrels

[EMC_Custom]

Does anyone have any experience with E.R Shaw barrels? I've looked online and reviews range from very good , to less than steller, but I've never actually spoke with anyone who has actually used one of their barrels.
Any insight would be appreciated

I only have a 'sample of one' in dealing with them.Their shipping was not nearly as quick as they advertise, and I was flat out lied to about the shipping date. Twice. The barrel was a mag contour chambered in .222 with a 9 twist. Accuracy was acceptable but barely. It would shoot an inch, but Im used to .222s that'll shoot half that.It has been unscrewed and discarded.... I've been getting barrels elsewhere ever since.

Yeah, I've read a few stories about long lead times, extra long ship times, and it seems that ( aside from a few stories), they tend to hover around 1 MOA accuracy.

No personal experience, but most I've heard online or word of mouth is.....there are much better options.

I went with Shilen for both my 22 Creedmoor, and 250 Savage barrels

Preferred barrel is owned by MGM so your gonna get a good barrel.
And if you want a blued barrel they do that work too.

I did order a 30-06 barrel from them and there was a issue where they lost the order and didn't make the barrel for me. The guy that I was having the barrel made for then changed his mind to sell the gun and not rebarrel it.
They returned the money no problem.

The other barrel company i use is x-caliber. They've made me a few barrels and the all shoot very well.

I have owned a couple MGM Contender barrels, and an Encore barrel. The Contender barrels were great. The Encore barrel, not so much. It was a 22-250 barrel, and had a very rough chamber. They eventually made it right, but it took a lot of emails, and phone calls to get them to concede that they were at fault. This was many years ago shortly after Virgin Valley went out of business, and MGM took over

I had to go to MGM when Bullberry and Bullberry Legacy went out of business.
So far everything has been excellent.

Like I said, the only failure I had was with an Encore 22-250 with a rough chamber ... That said, this was in the very early days of MGM, and the issue could have been as simple as using a well worn chamber reamer they had sitting around from the Virgin Valley days

You aren't the only person to have issues with Bullberry/ Bullberry Legacy. Troy owes a lot of people, a lot of money.
