Melonite/QPQ/Salt Bath Nitride barrels for Ruger Precision Rifle

[Benito]

Anybody here have any experience/input/advice on one? Thus far I have only found 2 places making them. Criterion is well known and quality but I've never heard of Snipe Arms. Are these guys legit?
I'm looking for one in 6.5 Creedmoor to extend barrel life and for corrosion resistance.

I don’t see anywhere it says the Snipe Arms are melonited or treated. I do know that Broughton 5C barrels are very nice and usually shoot a little faster then most. If you are needing a barrel treated I would prefer to stick with a cut rifled barrel though if it is to be melonited. I would skip the melonited if it were me and jump on that Broughton 5C

My mistake. It does indeed look like the Snipe Arms is stainless without QPQ. Criterion thus looks like the only choice. Dilemma solved as far as that goes
