Hes got a deep hole boring machine to ream them. Talked to a knowledgable man with a borescope before I purchased who was very complementary.
Proof will be in the pudding - should have it fitted and chambered this week so time will tell.

Very interesting what's his pricing?
If quality is great, and there would be no reason for them not to be as Bradley always was very capable, I would choose one of his, or a Hardy, or a Shilen, over Truflite any day.
Pity his 7mm is only 1:9

What is the problem with true flight? I always thought they were well regarded, but have heard a few bad things lately.
Would there not be any concerns with the likes of Hardy being new kids on the block and relatively unproven? Heard not great reviews on here about their suppressors.

I try to avoid them if I can too

Hugh makes the barrel to order, when I had my 6.5x.284 barrel done I requested 1:8 no probs, and the .300 Blaser Magnum I asked for 1:10, as they are made from scratch, he asks questions and gives advice, I'm no techy but Hugh certainly knows his stuff and the service has be great, can't recommend him highly enough. As for the pricing, I looked around and found him quite competitive with the more commonly known brands, at times cheaper. The quality however does not suffer.
