Re: Obermeyer Barrels
I've also owned a couple, shot out one in 6.5x284 that was one of the most accurate barrels I've owned.
That being said the others you mention shoot good too.

Re: Obermeyer Barrels
I really like em I think they are as good as anything out there. Long wait times have been a problem in the past. Bugholes here on the hide stocks and sells them.

Barrett Obermeyer makes the best barrels in the world...
He trained guys like...Mike Rock,Jack Krieger,Dr.ian Gregory@Border barrels,and others...
He still competes and has forgotten more about shooting and building rifles than any man alive.

Re: Obermeyer Barrels
Bugholes is a great vendor to deal with. We are fortunate to have him stocking Obey barrels on a consistent basis. Before he started selling them people would place an order for an Obey barrel and it could take them YEARS to get one.

He didn't train Krieger and or they never work together. They we're shooting buddies and talked about barrels etc...but never worked together. When Krieger was looking at getting into makeing barrels Boots told him where to go to get a rifler, reamer and drill. That would be about the extent of them working together. Most people because they we're always seen together at matches or shot on teams etc....have always assumed that they worked together is how I think that started.
John/Jack told me this himself when I worked at Krieger.

Re: Obermeyer Barrels
I had a hard time recently, choosing between a Rock Creek and an Obermeyer...ended up with the Rock Creek for no logical reason. Obermeyer has one of the best websites regarding barrel info. I'll also recommend Greg (Bugholes) @ SPR, who is barreling my action.

Re: Obermeyer Barrels
Recently put an Obermeyer 308 on a 40x repeater. It shoots < 1/2 moa to 600. The barrel never copper fouled from the first round. I have had other custom barrels as good but don't guess you can do better.

Re: Obermeyer Barrels
I have an Obie on my 338 Edge and a 300WM. They are lights out impressive in the accuracy department. A couple fouling shots and a wet patch of oil thru the edge and it was shooting fist sized groups at 1100 yards easily.

Re: Obermeyer Barrels
I had a 300 mag with a 1-11 Oby , shot amazing
I've also had Bartelin , Kreiger , Rock Creek , Hart , PAC-nor , Brux and several others and I would wager to say if you took an Oby , Rock , and barteil all 5R rifled same twist and profile , chamber them all to the same action with the same reamer that you could not tell the difference.

As others have said, his barrels are tops. He was introduced to me as the "godfather" of barrel makers.

Re: Obermeyer Barrels
I have heard nothing but great things about them, however after shooting my Brux I will probably never go else where.
Any of the top names above will all shoot the same, extremely accurate.
Oh, and Bugholes is good to go. I got my Oby and Brux from him.
