UPS says my Shaw replacement barrel is coming.
Three months to the day, almost, that's what they claim it will take. 358 win 1x12 twist threaded mussel and 4 straight flutes blued small shank, savage magnum taper 22" long. It's like waiting for Santa on Christmas night. Although I won't be putting it on till after at least one deer with the 6.5 Needmoor barrel. The needmoor has taken 4 coyotes and some P dogs, but not a deer/antelope. I know the 6 and a half it a better choice for deer and even more so on an antelope, but you know, I want a 35/308 just because. When I get it, I'll put up a pic, and when I get it on, I'll put a Pic up. As I work up a load, I'll do pics, THAN when the first blood, you know I'll put pics up. But all that will likely be sometime in December.

Congratulations!

I've bought 4 barrels off of them and been very pleased.

I bought a Shilen and a Douglas, both shooters, but was not happy with the bluing on either of those.

The blueing from E.R. Shaw is a thing of beauty!

Picture is 5 shots at 200 meters with a Shaw $100 "over run special". 250 Savage. 24" sporter screwed on a Savage Axis action.
75gr Sierra HP Varmint with a lowish charge of Alliant Varmint.
3,150fps.
Wind caught me out on the last shot.
1" dot.
