I put on a new ballistic advantage barrel this week, and shot a .33 moa three shot group and a .86 moa 20 shot group with no cooldown between shots. Both at 100 yards with factory nosler aaccubond 129gr. It's the 18" but as good as this barrel is I'm sure the 12" would be great as well.

It would help to know your budget and what you want to do with it.
One thing to keep in mind is that ammo is $1.00 a round or so. Many lower-priced barrels take 200 rounds or so to start shooting their best and will only shoot a few loads well. You also run a much higher risk of getting a barrel that doesn't shoot well at all. Top-quality barrels will usually shoot their best right away and will shoot more loads well. You're nearly assured of getting a barrel that shoots well. When you factor that in, the $500 barrel might cost you less than the $200 barrel. Cheap barrels are often a false economy.
I had Compass Lake Engineering make a Douglas-blanked barrel a while back. I'm impressed with it, and they delivered it right on time.

I have the sixsigmaarms monster 16" barrel, proof research 20" s.s. barrel and 12.5" ballistic advantage Hansen barrel. All are sub moa with different loads. The proof research has a short throat though so in my opinion can't go wrong for the price with the six sigma barrels. It's the one I grab the most heading out to the field by far.
