E R Shaw barrels are decent barrels,but they are not a barrel that will win you many competition shoots.For a match grade barrel,you'll have to cough up a few hundred more $$$.

There are some great deals out there on Shaw barrels.I recently purchased a 7mm/08 and 6.5 Creedmoor Shaw barrels for $158 ea from The Gun Shack.
I've had few problems getting them to shoot handloads under 1/2 moa at 100 yards.You just have to find what they like to shoot,as with any barrel.

The bad news is E R Shaw is very backed up,I ordered my barrels in March and didn't receive them until August(7mm/08),and a couple weeks ago with the Creedmoor.
