I have 16 or 17 of their barrels in 22rf and depending on which action, what twist, ammo, conditions, day of lunar cycle, etc. they shoot well. My best shooter is a Turbo with a RKS barrel, next are probably a couple of Ballards with RKS, followed by a Remington 37 and I can go right on down the list, Winchesters, more Ballards, a couple of rollers, a pair of Hepburns, a Webley, Farrow, a Westley Richards, a Zettler and even a couple of Martini's but running neck and neck my worst shooters with RKS barrels on them is probably a Hepburn and a 1-1/2 roller. They not terrible, but they're not 1/2 or 1/4 MOA rifles. Don't be surprised if a new barrel doesn't fix your problem, your action screwed on to that barrel is a Hepburn isn't it? I've shot silhouettes with one of my Hepburns and ended up fairly well but at a 100 or 200 yard Schuetzen targets I can't generate scores much better than a 230 benched, I've been in the mid 240's several times at both distances with a Ballard, Peregrine and a High Wall. As for the dollars spent, the last 6 cut rifle RF blanks I've bought this year domestically, run between $450 and $600 depending on the name. Except for one, the RKS didn't give up any in a performance comparison. Just a nickle's worth of opinion. GT
