ER Shaw Custom Slug Barrel

[WhitetailFanatic]

I'm needing some input on a fully rifled slug barrel for the SBE I made by E.R Shaw. It's a 24 inch long with no sights. I'm considering buying one from an unknown source.

 

Are these barrels typically good shooters? What kind of accuracy would be typical with premium sabot slugs at 100 yards?

 

What is the value of a used barrel?

Shaw makes good quality rifle barrels, so I'd expect the slug barrel to be of decent quality as well.

 

I used to get 4" groups at 100 with a smoothbore (early to mid 80's), so it's gotta be better than that.

I have one on my SBE.Very accurate using Barnes Expander Slugs.

I have owned two and have three friends w/Shaw barrels, all shot very good. Lightfield 2 3/4" and Hornady SST slugs would give a 2"(5 shot) group about 75 % of the time. I have a left hand Shaw barrel being made for my SBE II as I type.

What is shaw charging for the work? Is it canabilzed? Tapped for a scope?
