    push me one way or another

    ok, its time to order a barrel.
    here is what i am thinking about

    20" hbar, most likely rifle length

    PF nitrided criterion
    Shillen from brownells (unless there is another source)
    sons of liberty gun works (Bergara blank)(the .5 moa garuntee really intrigues me)
    odinworks

    obviously the odinworks is on there just for the price point. but reviews have been good.

    use: mainly paper. possibly hunting. you never know.
    optic: tbd
    muzzle device: tbd
    gas block: tbd (adjustable most likely)
    just some targets for printing

    LIlja!!

    Bartlien!!

    PacNor!!

    McGowan!!

    Hart!!

    Kreiger!!

    Are you willing to wait for several months, or do you need a barrel ASAP?
    If you can wait a bit look at Precision Firearms for a high quality barrel, chambered properly!!

      By the way, the OdinWorks barreled rifle I recently built, has been gobbling up steel cased ammo like there's no tomorrow, zero issues. He even got a 35 lb Bobcat with it!

          If your in no hurry there's 20" group buy going on here for a Faxon barrel.
          Gentlemen, Esteemed Warriors, and Vile Unwashed of the Horde, here is the official kick-off for our group buy of rifle-length 20" 6.5 Grendel barrels manufactured by Faxon Firearms. These are great hunting barrels. At 20" they give the best velocity one can get within a reasonable field length and with standard

              In your post, I gather that you were looking for higest quality. Was curious why you would leave out those producers?

                  faxon is a no go, not an hbar, required by the laws of my communist state.

                  others producers left out for various reasons. usually cost. i set a budget, the ones i listed fit within it

                  some that fit were left out after email convos with them

                    If it was me, I'd buy the PF Criterion.

                    Midway USA also sells the Shilen barrels. I think you can buy them direct from Shilen as well. I got mine from Midway and I'm pretty happy with it.

                    I'd personally like to see you buy the SOLGW barrel and then let us know your results.

                      PF nitrided Criterion FTW! Why, you ask, chambered by PF and nitrided.

                        it is tempting. i have been researching what i can. but there is not alot out there on them or the blank maker.

                          I have a shilen that I ordered and didn't build only because my Satern 20" hbar got finished before I could build the shilen. It's worth noting that the shilen has no muzzle threading, so don't get that if you wish to attach a muzzle device.
