I'm starting a 308 biuld and looking for a 20 inch barrel, wanted a BA ,but the few places I looked were sold out , but I did find a Shaw 20 inch heavy conture with straight fluting, but have no experience with Shaw, anyone know if they're a quality barrel maker , it was on sale for 284 reg 370 if that makes a difference.
 
I'd look into X Caliber and skip those two. They just had a Halloween sale that's good for 30% off. I'm sure they will have another sale for black friday.

Buy the best 308 barrel you can afford.
You could blow god knows how much money, on ammo, trying to make a cheaper barrel shoot to your expectations.

Wilson currently has their 20" Fluted on sale. $267

I have a wilson on my valkyrie , it shoots great , I didn't look at Wilson's home page , you can usually beat their price at their distributors, but that's a good price ,I'm going to jump on it ,thanks for the heads up.

Chrome lined will last a long time in 308

Have them add a headspaced bolt to your order
