Best bang for the buck barrel?

[Raythemanroe]

I have a 6mm build in mind off a factory action and don't intend for this to be a competitive gun at the range. I would like it to shoot well though and would like your opinions on which barrel has the most accuracy to cost ratio?

Douglas, or Benchmark.

 

[Raythemanroe]

I don't see prices for Benchmark on the web site, what do they usually run?

A lot of guys are shooting the Kreiger Button rifle barrels "CBI"

Good Luck

I have several mcgowens and they shoot as good or better than the cbi barrels and I also have one of theirs that is showing promise.

If its a remmy action CBI or Rock, if its a Savage action CBI McGowan, or Rock.

 

[Raythemanroe]

CBI, Rock, McGowan and Benchmark..

I'll look into them, Thanks.

My gunsmith just told me yesterday that Benchmark's are currently "measuring out" extremely well. Very minute variations.

Give Hawk Hill a shot. Cut rifled and excellent lead times. I got a 6mm in route right now?

I've never had a bad McGowen. For just a little more money than a Shilen, they are a very good value.

I like my Criterion. It shoots very well

 

[Raythemanroe]

CBI seems to be okay priced

Jim Brigss @ NSS..... $340 later and this barrel cleans so well and has shot since first round through it. Took 4 break in rounds and cleaning and has not fouled since. I have gone as far as 125 rounds with no fouling.

Mine is a 308 win for FTR 1000 yard. But if it was for non formal competition in say a 6BR or Dasher, I bet it would shoot right there with a custom $700+ barrel for my needs

We can have you a 6mm barrel made in about 3 weeks. Our barrels have been doing very well in both the hunting and competition fields. Let me know if I can help you out.

no signs of copper build up was what I was saying. of course it will have some powder fouling in there

And was saying for $340 total I think it is a good quality barrel for my needs vs a $750++ barrel total

Green Mountain barrel not bad for 100$
