I have read about the good barrels, the not so good barrels and the bad barrels. I have had to search and read through the google search for the site. I am exhausted from reading. I have probably missed a lot of information. What I am looking for are reviews, reports, with or without pictures. It would be helpful if all of these reviews were in one location. I guess what I am asking for is to relick this calf. Because I am sure the information is there but not in one central easy to find location. Like I said , I am at the point where I am about to make a decision on barrels. I am asking for reviews, range reports, opinions , specifics on barrels. Twist, chambering, length, accuracy. I wouldn't miss a chance to brag on my rifle if I had the chance, I am hoping you wont either. I wouldn't miss the chance to save someone else some grief if I had a bad experience with a barrel either. So if y'all will post up your reviews with your specific barrel. I for one would like to hear about your experience good or bad. It would be helpful to include load information as well. And thank you in advance for your input, it will help me make an informed purchase.

If you have gone through the forum and gleaned much information from it, which barrel do you think is right for you?
If you come out with a listing of the top three choices, others can make more specific comments that will help you a lot more than conflicting opinions.
Start out with stating your primary use for the rifle and you may also save yourself a bunch of money while getting the barrel you want.
Don't get bogged down in twist rate, cut or button rifling, or 'what load is the best'. State your needs and then your choices of barrels / lengths, and you will get good information.
