Goat build their ranges around sporting themes, and the barrel profiles follow the idea properly rather than just the artwork — the Fairway carries a dimpled grip taken from golf ball design, the Sprocket's cuts come from cycling sprockets, and the Traction's from motorsport tyre tread.

Dimpled grip is worth a look if cut barrels have ever caught at release. Texture runs in every direction with nothing standing proud, so the barrel holds well and lets go cleanly.

The range splits into 80% and 90% tungsten, with GripTech shafts and matched flights throughout. It is a newer name than most and priced accordingly, which makes it good value for the machining you get.
