Mcgowen Barrel Reviews

This alone would have me furious. Why should you pay shipping to return something they obviously screwed up? You are quite literally paying to fix their mistake.

Yes.

The one I had to return they told me to return it and I told them to send me a label and they did.

My history with mcgowen is a sample of one barrel. It’s a 7 twist 25-06 that was installed by a reputable smith in my area. I bought it because the price was right and now I can see why the price was right. I am not a barrel snob having barrels from most of the popular barrel makers (Shilen, Douglas, benchmark, Krieger, Lilja, Wilson, etc) this is by far the pickiest oddest barrel I have ever used I have fired close to 200 rounds through the rifle even trying a box of factory loads and have only had one with any kind of promise. With that being said I will probably end up changing it out to something else since I am tired of chasing it at this point. I don’t believe I have ever had a factory rifle that was this hard to tune.
