Welcome. Your experience seems pretty normal for the industry right now with anything chambered other than 5.56, which is even limited compared with a few months ago. I have a 16" AA barrel/bolt I got from Midway a few years ago, and it's just a button-rifled E.R. Shaw barrel, but still shoots sub-MOA. I recently shot a .792" 4-round group with it using Precision Firearms Factory 123gr Lapua Scenars. For such a lightweight gun, it shoots very well, despite being extremely difficutl to hold on-target.
If you're looking to push the effective range on targets, you'll want a high-end pipe. Get the match-grade barrel for what you're looking to do. Wait times are lengthy right now because barrels can't be made fast enough to meet demand across the industry.
