That is what I got with my Lilja barrel also. It shoots so good it made me change my plans for my wife's rifle. I have a Savage Model 12 action that I was going to put a Criterion barrel on. After my Lilja experience that got changed too, it will be getting a Lilja barrel chambered in 260 AI put on it. Those Nosler ABLR 142gr bullets at 2900 fps should be the 1000 yard bomb! I am going to get a Lilja barrel for my 5.56 AR also. It is an Olympic Arms K8 Target Match that I got back in 2003 or 04. The first group I shot out of it was a .75 inch 20 shot group. That barrel is still shooting good but I am pretty sure the throat is a little longer that it was originally. There has been a lot of rapid fire shooting through it over the years like the gas tube glowing red hot and the free float handgaurd getting to hot to touch without a glove on shooting.
