Re: what barrel to use
I have a Rock Creek on my .338 and it shoots lasers. I have a Lilja coming in on my 300 win mag, and I can only hope for the same results!

My buddy has a Benchmark barrel on his 7mm-08 and you can stack as many rounds on top of each other as you want over and over. Also alot of people are Bartlein fans.

Re: what barrel to use
If you have to ask you need to do more reading. Pick your specs. That will narrow your list of manufacturers down. All are very competative and wouldn't last long making subpar barrels.
Fluted? Straight or pattern, 6, 8, 10 Brux, and Hart offer several patterns. Krieger only flutes #6 minimum.
Number of grooves? 4, 5, 6
Contour? Krieger starts at #5 in stainless for 30 cal.
Canted rifling? Broughton, Shilin, Kriger, Rock, Obermeyer
Gain twist? Bartlein
Cost? Rock Creek is a great value.
Delivery time?
Tell us what you want and we can help you narrow down your specs and decision

Re: what barrel to use
I have and had, kriegr, bartlein, pac nor, shilen and benchmark, a 1/2 mOA barrel is a 1/2 MOA barrel, they all were and better than that too.
hope this helps confusing you a bit.

Re: what barrel to use
I have used Hart, Douglas, Kreiger and Brux. So far, I like Brux the best.

My 6.5CM is a Kreiger SS in a HV#17 taper. If the holes in the target don't touch, I did something wrong its that accurate.
