For "gigantic pieces of shit" a surprising number of target shooters seem to prefer the UM barrels if you care to look at whats on display at NRA competitions

Hope you come right crash, does not sound like a happy story...

I have only used the Ultra match barrels and they have all been less the awesome. Some have been flat out rubbish. You will notice I said 'personal' opinion based on barrels I have owned(6). How many have you had?

Or are you going to continue to refer back to all these NRA shooters experience for ever?

TF' used to be pretty good but not anymore. If they ever manage to sort out their stress relieving issues I might consider one again.........but probably not.

Am getting there, I won our fieldshoot yesterday which was amazing considering how it usually go's. As far as the TF barrels being poor quality I know a couple of guys in our deerstalkers club who have TF barrelled rifles and they say they are just as good as any others they have but find they are very picky. Takes a long time to get a load that works, Im finding that out the hard way.

FWIW I've been extremely happy with the many TF UM .338 barrels I've had to date
