Accuracy and Reliability vs Cost
Reputation of the company selling the barrel, will they stand behind any defects that can happen in anybodies manufacturing process
Reputation of the quality of the barrel

Chambers reamed by Manson Reamers, SAAMI spec in the case of the Grendel
SS that has been nitrided has become a requirement for me in my barrels.

Length, contour, weight are mission dependent

Hope that helps.
