This barrel is a tack driver once I went through the proper break in process it shot lights out.

Possible still breaking in but after 500 rounds, not as good as the factory barrel. I will change this if it gets better.
Cons:
- Does not shoot as good as factory, yet?
Would recommend: No

For some reason this is the 2nd review I have posted.
I have emailed support
I have written another review yet here is my 3rd attempt.
I have shot this barrel and for the most part it shoots ok.
The barrel itself is very nice outside and for not being a
hand lapped barrel the rifling inside looked quite nice.
However hence the original unanswered email to support...
No where on this barrel does the words SHAW, exist.
In 99% of all pictures on Optics Planet as well as the
Shaw website itself, the markings, stamp of the Shaw wording
exists however, not on the barrel I purchased.
So going off of the pictures, here and at Shaw, I cannot validate that this is
an authentic Shaw barrel as advertised.
All I expected was a general explanation, I have yet to receive this.
Cons:
- Not manufacturer Stamps
- cannot authenticate Shaw barrel
Would recommend: No

1st off lets talk about the visible Pros...
Overall inside and out the barrel looks great.
The fit an finish is very nice for the price point.
The bore, for a NON-Hand Lapped barrel is very nice.
I have only shot this barrel once and will do so again
today since I realize some rimfire barrels need a little tender loving care
in order to produce acceptable groups.
Now for the CONS
No where on this barrel is it marked SHAW.
All of the pictures on Optics Planet and the manufacturers site
all show that SHAWs stamp exists.
I emailed support the day after receiving the barrel and have yet
received a reply. My question was simple...it does not show me as
being a legit SHAW barrel going by all of the photos I have researched.
I simply asked if this was in fact a legit Shaw barrel. Crickets...
No where on this barrel does the words Shaw appear so I am no 100% convinced
that I received a Shaw barrel.
Due to this purchase at your own risk.
If support would have at least replied I would have given it more than 2 stars.
Cons:
- No Shaw Markings on Barrel
Would recommend: No

The fit and finish on the barrel were very good. Accuracy is outstanding for a barrel in this price range. The only downside is it will not extract fired Laupa Center X cases. Everything else I have tried extracted fine.
Cons:
- will not extract Laupa Center X cases
Would recommend: Yes

Accuracy improved from quarter size groups at 50 yd to dime size groups at 50 yd. Well worth the money.

Great barrel only shot to 50 yards so far but dialed right in! Me not being able to hold steady doesn't do it justice my friend shoots it way better than I do!
