The previous 44 and 444 barrels didn't throw Barnes XPB bullets worth a crap, even 200 grain.
I just got my 1894 SBL set up today, and hope to shoot Monday. 1 in 20 twist in the Ruger Marlin is a gamechanger.
After action disassembly and inspection, fit and finish is much improved over even the best era of Remlins. No burrs, sharp edges, or machine marks. Factory trigger was the normal heavy, but a Wild West Happy solved that real quick.
