Have a Satern barrel from AA...shoots great.
Bought one direct from Satern...couldn't get it to shoot well at all. Had it examined by gunsmith and he indicated quality issues. Reached out to Satern to resolve, they wouldn't respond.
Personally, based on issues a few years back with Liberty barrels, I wouldn't use one if it were a gift.

My Satern was an early one and shot really well. No complaints about it.
Every cloud has a silver lining (except for the mushroom shaped onesÂ… which have a lining of Iridium and Strontium 90)

My Satern 20" cut rifled barrel is only a few months old. They were quick to respond to my questions when they were trying to make the sale but completely failed to give a sh*t when I complained about the throat being ridiculously short. I won't be doing any business with them again.
With that said, I can't really complain about the accuracy. I haven't found a tack-driver load for it yet but that could be because I'm only using 123 SSTs so far. I'll withhold judgment until I can test a wider variety of bullets.

I have two liberty barrels and they both shoot sub MOA.

I just bought a liberty 24" from Satern and I am happy about everything so far. Was pretty apprehensive about getting it from them based on all the negative posts on here. I guess the final decision was just them being fellow Iowans and the idea that there are always negative things said about everything somewhere. My customer service was really good and I'm getting really good groups right off the bat during break in with American Gunner and Federal ammo.

I settled on a BCA 20 inch nitride black fluted heavy barrel. It was over a hundred bucks cheaper. I will see how well this one shoots for my first build.
