(Who really takes their rifles to a gunsmith they know is not a good one?) Before I had fired 10 rounds through that barrel it had produced two sub-1" groups at 100 yards with my handloads.
I'm having a 22-250 rebarreled with an ER Shaw 1:8 twist barrel by the same gunsmith who did the 280 Rem. I will use Shaw's barrels for any project I can.

The best he can do with it after months of trying is 1" with his best handloads. I can probably do better with a Remington and definitely with a savage barrel

No sir. Just what I experienced second hand with my buddy's 260. I was just not impressed.
Love my shilens Lilja and Kriegers though.
