Any comments on the following post I copied from another baord?

Well, in this thread there is one person saying that a great number of competitive Shiloh rifles are rebarreled. It might be because of the machine that bores them.

Its a good machine well kept and well run by extremely prideful people. What they can do with a 1940 machine is remarkable. But, it is not, nor will it ever be anywhere as close to Badgers being able to keep .0001 tolerances across a full 40". It might interest some to know that Badgers shop for making just the barrels is larger that Shiloh's whole operation.

For some, a rifle starts with the barrel. For some, a rifle ends with the barrel.

Even some folks here...

P.S. There is no improvement over a Sharps and definatetly not by something, correction...anything, made in Japan.
 
I'll not enter the C. Sharps vs. Shiloh debate, I like them both, but I do believe that Badger makes the best BP/cast bullet barrels. If i had a nice Shiloh however, I would not change barrels, Shilohs have taken home alot of silver! I agree also with an earlier poster, nothing takes game down as fast or as certain as a big Sharps!
 
I think the quality of C. Sharps and Shiloh Sharps is very close.
You can't go wrong with either.
There is one caveat however.
The guy that owns C. Sharps is well known as being a bit of a pr1ck, whereas the Shiloh folks are all very nice.
 
The only rumour (and this is old news) is that the owner of C Sharps is of retirement age and wants to sell but no buyers yet, like I said, this could be 5 year old info. He was always good with me and i had my rifle in short order and was/is very happy.
