Overated in their time, and today they aren't even relevent. The fact they sells 2 different grades of barrel due to inability to control tolerances and are willing to sell substandard barrels with their name on it tells you all you need to know.
Like anything, you could get lucky with the right tube, bullet, load ect and get an exceptional shooter but the barrel to barrel consistency will not be close to the quality you get from Bart, Brux, Hawk Hill, Benchmark, ect.
They are price point, button barrels. There is a reason all the highly respected barrel makers are doing single point rifle cut barrels.
Why roll the dice to save a few dollars when you can spent a bit more and get something almost guaranteed to be a hammer?
