16” Lilja or PF Criterion? - Gringoloco - 12-30-2022

I’m rebarreling my Gibbz side charger setup with a 16” barrel and am looking at either the Lilja from the forum or the PF Criterion. Once shipping is factored in the price point is about the same for the options I’m looking at. Is there an edge to one of these barrels over the other? PF said the Criterion should shoot .7 MOA or better. I run the rifle suppressed with a Rugged Micro 30 most of the time hence the desire for a 16” MLGS system and I would like better than MOA out to 500 yards.

Both barrels will shoot great. One addition to precision firearms is you can add a headspaced bolt.

My 6 ARC from PF is a Criterion, still have not finish load development but it is definitely sub MOA. I chose the Criterion because I have been running Criterions on my bolt guns for 10+ years. That said Lilja barrels are also top of the line

Bigs is right, they are both excellent pipes.

I don’t think you can go wrong with either of those barrels.
