Ballistic advantage 6.5 creed barrels? Reviews?

I sold mine, but experience was yes to accuracy but they are heavy! Mine shot a variety of Hornady factory ammo well. To include 120s, 140s and 147s. I settled on the 120s for my purposes.

i can't really comment on the price of the upper, and the rest of the parts but the barrels have a good track record on shooting well. Adj gas blocks are highly recommended along with HP bolts.

I have no complaints about mine; well except for the weight. However, I knew it was going to be heavy when I bought it. Mine has been consistently sub-moa, and sometimes even sub half-moa. Attached are a couple pics. One is a pic of my finished rifle and then another pic with a couple groups I shot with 3 different loads. I am planning to buy another barrel just to keep in the safe. I would not hesitate to purchase another. I can't comment on the price of the assembled upper without knowing what the other components are. But, I recently saw the BA 6.5CM barrels for the low 200 buck range.

I have an 18" barrel in one of my recent builds. Sub MOA accuracy with American Eagle 140 grain factory loads. Have sub moa hand loads for this rifle with 130 grain Berger AR Hybrids, Hornady 129 grain SST, and Hornady 143 grain ELD x that are banging steel past 600 yards. I have an adjustable gas block and a Lantac BCG in this build.
 
I have heard much better things about their 6.5 Creed barrels than I have about their 5.56 barrels in terms of accuracy. If it is a deal I'd grab one.
