    I need help choosing a barrel

    My budget is small so the offerings from Brownells and Midway look great. I will mainly be shooting within 500 yards with hopes of someday stretching out further. It will also be suppressed with an AAC 762SD, I already have a 51t Brakeout mount to go on the end. This will most likely be a bench gun so weight isn't a real issue. I'm looking at a 18" or 24" barrel. Brownells only has the 24" in stock and I can't find much good or bad about the Midway barrels. MOA would be great, sub moa would be excellent. This will be my first 6.5, I want to make the best choice possible with the funds I have.

    Do a quick search of precision firearms. They're about to start offering an economical barrel that should be in your price range.

        I agree with Cory, check with PF. For what you describe that's were I'd go.

            Couple the quality and accuracy of their barrels with a SAAMI Grendel chamber cut by PF, and you'll likely have your winner.

                  I was going to say the 18" Brownells is a solid Barrel as well. Shooting 123g Amax factory ammo mine has been .6MOA so far, but I have only shot her 100yrds.

                  Which one did you decide on, the PF? Let us know how it works!

                    I decided on the PF. If the Brownells had been in stock I'd of ordered it a couple weeks ago, from everything I've read its a great buy. But its been out for awhile and has that no back order thing up so I started this thread looking for some input. Plus I'd rather give my money to small business over the big box type place anytime. You can't beat PFs customer service either.
