Looking for experience with X-Caliber barrels. Specifically the 6mmARC. What your opinion of them and how they shoot.

Never tried their AR offerings but I have several bolt action barrels and they are all easily sub 1/2" shooters. They are a pretty good deal when they have one of their frequent sales.
I’ve shot 7-8 X Cal barrels including one 6mm ARC AR barrel. They all have been shooters. Actually the most accurate barrel I’ve ever shot has been a 7 twist 22 Creed built on an X Cal. During load development it was a single clover even between powder charges. Ran from 40-41 Gr of H4350, and still kept a single hole. We couldn’t get that barrel to shoot less than a 1/2” to save our life with any of the loads we tried. It liked everything.
I've got two X-Caliber's currently, a 5.56 and a 243LBC which is relevant since that might as well be 6ARC. It's not a Bartlein but it didn't cost that much either. It was very easy to find multiple loads that consistently shot under 3/4 MOA which is about as good a shooter as I can say I am on average. Plenty of sub 1/2" stuff if I really work hard at it, but I hate shooting groups and intensive load development so I probably haven't fully explored the barrels capabilities.
Thanks for all the help. Think I may give them a shot.
For sure. Veterans day, Independence day and black friday typically all get at least 25% off.
Like they said, wait for a sale. I'm going to order another one of their 6BR barrels. I pretty much wore out the one I have now but that sucker sure was accurate. 5 shot groups at 100 yards:
