[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1703293, member: 74902"] IMO, if looking for the best for a prefit barrel, I would call Bugholes and order a Bartlein with 5R rifling. Main reasons are all of the others: Criterion, Shilen, Pacnor, X-Caliber, are button rifled barrels. A cut rifle barrel from Bartlein will more than likely be the straightest, have the most consistent bore diameter, and the most consistent rifling. The lapping will be beyond reproach, and the lapping and 5R will make for the least fouling and easiest to clean barrel. The cut rifling will have the least stress in the steel of all of them and be the least likely to walk the POI as the barrel warms up. These are just differences between cut rifled and button rifled that are hard to ignore. Depending on the rifle you put them on, there may be no determinable difference, but the Bartlein would probably have the most potential. Would also get a machined recoil lug and barrel nut from Jim at NSS. [/QUOTE]
