My last 2 Lilja's were a .224 1-7 and a .257 1-10 Mountain rifle and both shoot better than I can hold them. Quick turn around on a good barrel.

I used Liljas on my last two builds. A #2 contour on a 338Fed and Rem Sporter on a 223 (1/7). Both shoot great. My gunsmith had not used them before but were available so I thought I would give Lilja a try. No complaints on my end.

Redneck installed the only one I have. It is an excellent shooter and fouls very little.
Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

I have Lilja barrels on 4 rifles, all are 3-groove: #3, .257, 1:10, 257Wby @ 25" Kimber Montana duplicate contours in: .224, 1:8, 22-250 @ 22" .224, 1:7, 223Rem @ 22" .277, 1:8, 270Win @ 22" They're all exceptional. They're accurate, will go a LONG time between cleanings, and clean up easy when it's time. I've helped 2 friends w/re-barrel projects as well, again, both were 3-groove: .224, 1:12, 22-250 @ 24", Ruger Varmint contour, chrome-moly and blued shiny like a factory Ruger. Other than not having all the factory writing on it, you'd never know it from original and no stock-work at all was required. .277, 1:8, 270Win @ 24", Remington standard sporter contour. It's stupid accurate on an older 700 action in a Classic wood stock that was previously bedded. Less than 20 rounds for load-workup. Basically loaded 2ea in .5gn increments over 3gn total disparity, found what QL computed as top velocity for 140 NAB's, loaded up 10, shot 2 5 shots groups @ 200 that went under 1" and called it good. I have 2 more Montana contour .224's in 1:7 on order for a 22Creed and another 223Rem. Not only do they shoot great, foul little, but, their large database of factory barrel contours makes them the "easy-button" for re-barreling an action/stock you like without having to do any work on the stock. Lllja Factory Barrel ContoursOops, forgot I have a #2 .308 being chambered in 300Win for a M70 Classic SS at the 'smith right now as well.

I have a bunch of Liljee spouts and think highly of them from sub Mountain Rifle contour to MTU. Hint.

May still be this way but when I had my rifle built by Karl Feldkamp @ Kampfeld Customs if you asked Karl what barrel he liked to use guaranteed he would of said a Lilja #3 contour in whatever you wanted built. The .243 he built for me is set up that way and is one of my most accurate rifles I own.

I only have one rifle with a Lilja barrel. It's a 7mm Rem Mag with a #4 contour. It shoots very well.

Continuing the theme. My 338 Fed with the Lilja Kimber 84m mod contour is accurate. I'm pondering my Ascent 7 RM in current factory twist rate. So far it hasn't lived up to my expectations and gaining mementum toward an 8 twist 0.284 of some flavor. It'll be a Lilja fac dupe contour unless the barrel installer makes a compelling argument.

Dan's 3-grooves are wicked slick, fast, and accurate

I'm pretty sure Dan hasn't had anything much to do with Lilja in a few years his son Carson has pretty much ran it for a few years now and in my opinion has brought it to a different level. I just got a 6mm 4 groove 7.5 twist for a 6 creed that's getting spun up as we speak I will be picking up the barreled action monday.

I have 4 Lilja barrels and they are my go to. I talked to a dude named Travis the last time I ordered from them according to my notes. Next is Shilen, then everyone else...
