It used to shoot groups, now it shoots shotgun type patterns at 100 yards.

    Just curious if anyone else has had this done and what the results were.
    I had my H&R rebuilt last year by DGR and Dean installed a Criterion barrel. The last garand match I shot in I scored 469 by 8x using the supplied LC ammo and was very pleased with both the rebuild and the ammo. Shot a clean in the prone rapids even though I was sighted about 1.5 minutes too high. A nice tight 10 shot group cutting the top of the Xring. This barrel seems to like the 150 grainers better than my 168 gr. handloads.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Every gun is law onto itself. That's why I don't put too much weight into the "competition" barrels. Criterion is just fine for what I do (JCG Matches.) If I need a Krieger for what I'm doing, I might as well just get an AR and get it over with.....
