Vudoo Barrel manufacturers

Snozzberries

Snozzberries

Thinking of buying a Vudoo rifle. When filling out the order worksheet, it asks which barrel manufacturer do I want. the options are:

Ace
Bartlein
Proof Research

I've never built a custom rifle, so I haven't done research into barrel manufactures. Any idea where I should start my research? Do you have a preference?
 
All 3 are mighty fine. Do your own research and reading up on them. I am partial to Bartlein but that’s just me. Like I said all 3 are very fine barrels. I love my Vudoo!!

I have owned several Ace and Bart barrels on my Vudoo rifles (on both Gen I & Gen II actions) but never a Proof so I can only comment on the two I have owned. Both are excellent barrels, just get which ever is available first.
 
The only ACE I've had on a V-22 was a18" Ranch, their lightest contour. I did a fair amount of shooting with it before replacing it with a 22" Krieger #4 sporter; only reason I replaced it was because the rifle balanced so far to the rear with that light Ranch bbl. It shot just fine, never a question about its accuracy. However, the 22" Krieger put the balance point right at the front edge of the PTG Stealth DBM unit that I used in the Manners EH2 stock, and it's a tad bit easier to shoot off a bipod due to the extra weight up front.
 
Mine has a 20" Ace MTU profile. No complaints at all very accurate when I do my part.
 
Mine have Ace barrels. They are just as good as any of the other smallbore barrels I have used.

picking a barrel is like picking a wife you have one out of a hundred chance off getting a killer barrel
 
I researched the shit out of this when I purchased mine. Between bartlein snd ace it doesn’t seem to matter. Both just shoot so well. I purchased whatever was in stock at the time and ended up with a 20” mtu ace and couldn’t be happier. I was kind of hoping for bartlein as I have a couple in centerfire and they are amazing but I couldn’t be happier with my ace
 
I'm convinced many barrels are good choices when lapped, slugged and chambered properly.

Thanks for the feedback everybody! I've reached out to Vudoo to see if there is an upcharge for the Bartlein barrels. I heard that Ace barrels are made by Vudoo.

Hoping I can get a MTU-V profile in 16.5". I'll be running a supressor so want it short as possible.
 
I've been informed that Ace is a partner company, that makes barrels only for Vudoo.

There is no cost difference between Ace and Bartlein.

I cannot get a MTU in 16.5". Shortest is 18".
