I actually just started a topic on this last night because I hadn't seen this one yet. Here's what I've found The match is a Shilen barrel blank with ratchet rifling The select is a black hole weaponry blank with polygonal rifling. Both ratchet and polygonal rifling are supposed to be good for accuracy with less projectile deformation, and easier cleaning as they don't copper foul as easy. I'm planning on a 20" barrel and the price difference there is only $6. ($293.95 vs 299.95) They're both MOA guaranteed, so for me it just really comes down to twist rate. I think I'm going to go with the select as I already have 168s and 155s that I shoot through my bolt gun (1:12 twist) and there's something to be said for ammo consolidation between rifles, especially when it comes to buying bulk ammo or reloading. I also haven't been able to find enough information on the ratchet rifling to give me a super warm fuzzy on it. I doubt there's anything wrong with it as there are plenty of bench rest shooters using it, but the polygonal just makes me feel more comfortable as I know more about it and have experience with it.

Angel, I've been delaying the barrel too but now all I have left is handguards, barrel, and gas system. Ideally I really want to get a JP barrel/bolt combo, but I would double my current cost in the gun and just can't afford to right now.

So I finally gathered a little intel from the numerous emails I sent out over the past couple days. The match is ratchet rifled... which tells me its a Shilen. I have zero experience or intel on ratchet rifling. Anyone have notable pros and cons?

So I'm doing my first .308 build and now at the point of buying a barrel. Looking at the Rainier barrels due to price and MOA guarantee, but I can't decide between the Match or Select 20". Comparison points I'm looking at are below... Select: $293.95, 1:11 twist, polygonal rifling (preferred) Match: $299.95 (only 6 bucks more), 1:10 twist (preferred), unspecified rifling type. Both are MOA guaranteed and they only have a .5 oz weight difference. The 5R rifling is a huge selling point for me as I sometimes do through 300+ rounds at some shooting sessions and don't want to have to worry as much about fouling or difficulty cleaning. The 1:10 twist is a big point as I will be using it for hog hunting and want to run heavier rounds, which I already have for my bolt gun. So that's why I'm stuck. Can anyone confirm what type of rifling the Match has, point out any other notable differences I missed, or make a logical argument for one or the other?

+1 After buying a house that had been vacant for several months, we had some serious cleaning up to do, everything from black widows to house flies and this thing fit the bill perfectly. The wife did get a little upset about the salt after 20ish shots in the house and the amount of beer I was drinking, but hey, theres a price to pay for any kind of fun.
