Faxon 13.9 Match Series
I had reasonable expectations with this being a $230 barrel, but when it consistently shot sub MOA (some groups closer to 1/2 MOA) with Hornady Match ammo I was very impressed. This barrel punches way above it's weight and is quite a value. It compares with match barrels costing 3x. 5 stars

Another Flawless Faxon Barrel
This is my 3rd Faxon barrel I have purchased. Once again they knocked it out of the park. Perfect fit and finish, light and great grouping. I will only purchase Faxon barrels and products.
