My most accurate barrel is a Lilja, an AR 740, it's a 20" and IIRC a 0.740 pretty much straight profile, with the GB journal at 0.750". Tack driver and speed really good, really. I'd expect a Bartlein with the same dimm's to do even better than mine, but as to profile I'd recommend that AR740 one heartily. You can see a pdf of it online if you google it. It fits most any decent HG. Personally I'm not a fan of the 0.875 monsters, I think of those more of a specialty, LR benchrest style barrel. But I'd also be talking about a 22 or 24" barrel, so bottom line not looking to do any totin' on a hunting trip.
If you want to go 18" keep the same profile as the 740 but shorten it, keep the rifle length gas.
O yeah, call Mark at precision firearms.com and talk to him. I believe he can do you a bart or a lilja, or several other choices. Might even still have his first-time forum mbrs discount for ya. He's a got a couple of RTG deals on this forum in the vendor section too.
