    Hello Like any brand some barrels may be better then others I don't think they are as good as some HIGH END /High dollar brands but I have 4 Shaw barrels on a Ruger 22 and 3 hunting rifles I have had good service from all 4

    For the price shaw barrels are ok, but like alot of things you get what you pay for...they certainly are not a lijia, hart or pacnor barrel.

    I've bore scoped a huge number of barrels...all makes including the big namers...Shaw's are generally roughest but some shoot well. Douglas is noticably the smoothest even above the premium brands. Take that for what it's worth.

    shootlow,

    Well, you've started at the bottom of the barrel, no pun intended. The only way left is up. Shaw barrels are cheaper for one reason, they are cheaply made. If that's all you need for a rifle then have at it. There are lots of folks that don't need the higher quality or don't have the abilities or expectations to make use of better barrels so make your decision based on what you need and don't worry. Do be prepared for extensive cleaning.

    Good Luck!

    Best.
