Several members of this forum have bought 6.5 Grendel Shilen 20" DCM profile barrels from Midway. I have not read of anyone not being satisfied with the Shilen barrel. I'm not capable of ringing out all the accuracy from my Shilen but it is easily MOA. When I was in Wyoming we were at 7200' ASL shooting at a steel plate at 880 yards. I hit the target on a cold bore shot off my bench using a bi-pod and rear bag. I hit the target 5 out of 5 shots widest point between two shot was about 10" but three rounds were into about 3" group. Previously I had shot out to 800 yards at 350' ASL with similar results.
I have not threaded the barrel on my Shilen as it is basically my target rifle and I don't like the extra noise of compensators.
Sure was cool seeing the steel target swing in the scope from the hit 1-2 seconds before hearing the clang.
