$2800-$2900 on their site.

Another vote for the mk5 3-18. Pr1 illum.

I've never been behind the illuminated xtr3, but the old one is significantly better than a viper in every way. When it comes to glass quality, I even prefer the xtr3 over my MK5's. In mild conditions, they may look close to the untrained eye, but in harsh conditions, they really stand apart.

If you are using them for hunting, it's absolutely worth it. If just for the range, put it toward a kestrel.

I only have experience with one so far. A 6.5 creed prefit. But it shoots everything I throw down it very well, and cleans easily. I have 1k rounds on it and judging by the fire cracking and wear, or lack thereof; I should get more out of it than previous barrels. I'm working on 2 builds...

I've never had any fluting done. All the barrels I order from him are MTU profile, so nothing lightweight.

I've ordered multiple barrels from Anthony for tikkas. All nut barrels, but they've all been excellent and are usually at your doorstep in a week or two. He'll make a shouldered barrel, but last time I checked he wanted you to send in the action.

I was able to safely get 2800 with 140's from my 20" CTR barrel. No pressure. RL16 and sta-ball will get you speed.

I've only had experience with one so far. An osprey tikka prefit. While tuning a load for it I couldn't get it to shoot over a 1/2" group, it shot everything so well it's stupid. Planning on ordering some more soon.

458 from a Rigby. 300 bo on the left for reference. Don't know of any cheap and easy way though.

Yes, I'd buy again. They've done everything I have expected. PRS: ranging targets out to 1200 yds on a bright sunny day is about max. Darker/cloudy conditions they'll go to what is advertised. I don't use the ballistics for matches, just to confirm range to target. Hunting: This is where they...

Interested to see if AB elite will truly work as a stand-alone like the fury's. If so I'll be trading my furys for these.

If it were me, I'd go custom just off what you will be using it for. If it was a hunting rifle factory would be ok because factory options all come with lighter barrel contours. An MTU or larger barrel is what you'll want if you're just laying down and shooting. You'll get better accuracy...

They can be had for less, but not much less new. They haven't been available new for a year or two.

I love mine. They're really good for the price.
