Great barrels, hard to find and a little more expensive. I have one and feel that it is the best shooting barrel that I have, and is not ammo finicky. I am seriously considering having it removed from my 1813 action and setup for my 2013. If you have found one, I can strongly recommend having Mike Ross install it for you.

Thanks for the suggession. im not too sure about the barrel being expensive ,as the agents selling them is quoting quite competetive price to that of Anschutz or Walther in a few sites!

I appologize, I did not look at your location. Border barrels have become very hard to get here in the states, and their cost is higher from shipping and import tax. The Border, with the possible rare exception, will easily out perform the factory Anschutz / Walther barrels.

thanks

thanks again for confirming BORDER to be superior to Anschutz or Walther. but i am surprised that a very few shooter at the top level is using BORDER! arent the BORDER people marketing it properly?
by the way, i hope you dont mind letting me know about your exposure to shooting sports and what event...... regards
