Looking for 6mm Creedmoor 26" Heavy Barrel for PRS

Yeah, they are a reseller for Bartlein. Great barrels and ....expensive. I may end up going with them, but didn't want to drop $800 on a barrel.
So a Bartlein blank is $340ish
My smith is $400 for a full chamber job with muzzle threads.
seems a little more than that for a gas port and some profiling doesnt seems that crazy to me.

It's not crazy and is worth the money, I am just looking at all options and suggestions. Hoping to find a good one in the $400-500 range finished. May be wishful thinking!?
 
To find a sub moa barrel worthy of competition I think so.
I dunno.
Barrels are a tough place to skimp (cause if the $450 one doesnt shoot, then you are out $1250 total and the time and components)

This Tasco on my .338 is badass though!!! 🤣

Add $100 for barrel extension (JP or BAT) as well.

I’ve been down this road with custom smith. Barrel shoots great but not worth the money over something like a Proof prefit.
