I remember when they were the rage.
Back then:
If you didn't get your barrel cryogenically treated,
dipped in liquid Nitrogen, at about 350 degrees below zero--
You were some sort of backwoods, ignorant hick.
Years ago, I trashed a Rem. 700 in .270 my Mom gave me.
I was carrying a deer down a hill and fell.
In the pile up of me, the deer, and the rifle-- the rifle was on the bottom.
The barrel was bent, the stock shattered, and the scope crushed.
But I rebuilt it. Making it my first custom rifle.
I put a Cryo treated, .30-06, Shilean barrel on it;
because Midway had them for a pretty good deal,
and it was only a few bucks more than a non-cryo treated one,
plus, I didn't want to be a ignorant, backwoods hick-- and not do it.
But,
Its like paying for 'Martinizing' your clothes at the dry cleaners:
How do ya know if ya got it or not,
and even if you did, what's the difference?
It shoots fine, as you'd expect, but I never could tell any difference between
it's cryo-treated barrel, and just a regular one with the same heavy varmit profile.
