Im thinking about a short (12 or so) Monster or Lilja barrel in 6mm ARC.
What do Monster barrels typically yield for accuracy? Is it worth the extra coin for the Lilja? Use would be for a SBR to accompany my 18 ARC and range would be 200yds or less. Itd wear a low power variable scope.
Thanks

Here's a thread by PA_Allen. I don't know if this is typical but it's what's possible.

If I wasn't likely to shoot over 200 yards, I'd probably not spend the extra money on the Lilja. But really only you can decided.

I have a Monster (18) and a couple Liljas (16, 18). The Monster is a high end rack grade barrel. For the price, the Monster is hard, if not impossible, to beat.
I would say get a Monster, build and shoot it. If it doesnt meet your standards, you will be able to sell it here for most of what you paid for it. Assuming you aren't limiting it to cloverleafs only, at the range you are going to use it, you should be fine.
BFT has been working on evolving the design and optimizing its accuracy with Wolf ammo. It's worth evaluating.

Bio, PV and PA,
Thanks to all of you. I think Ill go with the Monster when they become available. I already bought a Monster bolt and have a Nib-X bolt carrier. And I have a few receivers lying about, so I think Ill give it a shot.
biodsl, biodiesel is all I burn in my Duramax unless I simply cannot find it. Darn stuff burns clean and my truck loves it!

I've run my fair share of it in my first VW TDI. It's not as available as it used to be.

Sadly, it is hard ti find sometimes. I used this site...
