Although I am not a precision or competition shooter, I have come to be a Barnard action fan. First, they all seem to be able to shoot, and second, the ones I have are so consitently machined ... I can interchange any of my barrels initally fitted to one S action..on any of three S actions. Headspace is good on each barrel and they all seem to shoot OK. Pic below is of the first groups I shot at 100M with a 30BR Light Palma barrel at the tail end of my break-in procedure. Right group was the first 3 shot string after 5 shoot-and-cleans ... left side is first 5 shot group. NOTE: This barrel was not chambered using this action.
