Mine.

I've used Lilja, Pac-Nor, Krieger & Douglas on my .223's... Heard good things about Wilson but haven't used one. A good barrel is a good barrel and it doesn't really matter IMO.

No complaints on my X caliber, a Shilen, a MGM, and one from Urban RM..

I've had excellent results with Kreigers, Harts, Liljas and PacNor. Several friends have Bartlien 22 CF's that are very good.

Not sure what your useage or requirements are. Keep in mind that the barrel and chambering is the heart of any good rifle.

Good shootin' -Al

All above listed are good but my pick for .22 CF is Mullerworks. I have one of his .22 RF waiting in the wings.

I have used both Shilen and Wilson from Urbanrifleman and both are serving me very well. No complaints about accuracy.

I have a mix of 15+ 224 Centerfire Bartlein, Mullerworks and Krieger barrels in the safe. All are tack drivers...

All my aftermarket 223 Rem bolt rifle barrels are Douglas, and I am completely satisfied with them.

I have one Hart barrel on a 243 Win, and I can find no fault with it.

My first carbon fiber barrel was just last week a Bergara BXR , I shot this group 5 shots with eley black box match at only 25 yards, I'm thinking 1/2 moa at 50 easily , just a small caliber hunting gun, sold all my 1022's they only shoot well after dumping another $500 in them , plus the cost of the rifle , just not worth it anymore.

And what kind of barrel do you make?

 

[Dkk37058]

I have used both Bartline and Kriger and I have no problem using them again

Not knowing your accuracy and performance goals; I'll 'add' that I've had great luck with Wilson barrel blanks which have performed well chambered by a few smiths. Separating the barrel performance from chamber machining and rifle build is an ongoing subject here as it's really dependent on more than just the barrel. That said, I'm not a short range bench rest competitor, which is what I'd assume is your goal? For varminting, and XC match shooting; all I can say is that my built rifles outperform me, for whatever that's worth; so I'm happy to spend more time at the range to hone the fundamentals. What's the engineering phrase for project planning, "cost, quality, schedule; pick two?"

Ok, that's it for now, thanks for reading; I'm tagged in and looking forward to seeing others recommendations as well.

Thanks for all the input.

I’m looking at short range UBR.

 

[L Murphy]

I also should have said I’m looking for a barrel blank. Thanks everyone
