Looking to have a 223 rifle built. What’s a good middle of the road barrel? Money is a smidge tight for the project so something decent priced is what I’m looking for that still shoots.
Thanks
 
You can also see what midway has
You can often find decent deals on Shilen.
I was just looking at a #5 1-8 Shilen for a possible project
I’ve had a numerous of Shilens and they were all good to amazing
 
McGowan has always impressed me for the money. Also, I've heard good things about Wilson Barrels from ragged hole barrels. I have a .35 caliber one in the shop right now and I'm doing a 35 Whelen on right now and it's impressive for the low price.
