Thread: Shillen barrels.

So after some consideration on barrel choice for my 284win re barrel job for next year I found a 28" Shillen select match 1 in 8 twist 7mm blank at gunworks.

Not to say I wouldn't have been happy with a hardy at all and no disrespect but yeah I liked the specs on the shillen better.

So 2 questions:

1) who has or had shillen barrels (I've got one mate who had one which he loved but shot it out) ? My understanding is that Ed shillen went over to teach Bergara how to make barrels and the results speak for themselves.
2) barrel length. Bearing in mind with the 284win I'd like to keep it compact and handy yet still have legs, happy to shoot to 620y currently but would like to do 700ish. So based on keeping it Portable yet potent I'm unsure if I stick with 20" like it currently has or do I go 18" or 22"?

Cheers for the input team it's bloody awesome 👌
