What is the consensus on these 22? HBAR barrels? Please give me some feedback from users of this barrel. It will be used target and hunting handlods.

I have a 6.5 Grendel Criterion 22 inch Hbar barrel.For the $270 I gave, it is a great barrel.Sub moa groups w/hand loads(never tried factory ammo)@100 yrds.Break In is brief(25-50 rds max).I use it for target shooting and it is light enough to take hog hunting.Not quite as good as my 24 in heavy Bartlein custom barrel,but close.I own 6 or 7 Criterion pre fits.And I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another.Look on Optics planet and put in code “work7” for an extra 5% off and free ship.

Clove8,
I have used many Criterion Savage pre-fits..........they have all been excellent.........
Not much information on them here........ I’ve wondered about this myself.
Just put a 7 twist on .a Savage .223 from Northland Shooters Supply, shoots lights out.
A5Blaster....please keep us in the loop with your new barrel.

I would probably put my money on the criterion over the ballistic advantage.
I don't trust Saturn to build an outhouse much less a grendel sammi chambered barrel.

Hey, I like using that analogy myself at work. So I’ll mark them off the list.

Get the Criterion.You won’t be disappointed.There is no other pre fit barrel I’d recommend.

Out of those 3, Criterion would be my choice.
Easy people to deal with.
