Who makes the best rifle barrel in MTU contour and 5R rifling? I was planning on getting a Kreiger but I don't know yet. Just wanted some opinions.
A friend has this ratcheting Shilen on his 6.5x284 and it shoots 5 in .111 at 100. I feel it's quality.Here is a picture of Shilen ratchet twist Welcome to Shilen Rifles, Inc.. I have one on a 30-06 good barrel but limited in bullet weigth 1/13 twist barrel.

I'm sorry sir, I was not questioning or disagreeing with you, just re-inforcing your "good barrel" statemet. I have another friend with a 7 STW+ 30" Shilen that is a shooter also, and I feel they make a quality barrel. Sorry for the confusion.I didn't say the made a bad barrel what I said was they are limited in bullet weight. Shilen only make a 1/13 twist 30 cal barrel and they make 8 and 14 twist 22RF,22cal and 6mm last is the 6.5 8 twist and that it.
I changed direction on a 7mm I was having build sold a Bartlein 5r 10 twist barrel here. I decided to use 1/9 twist for the 280AI and 284. Kreiger offers 7 different twist for his 30 cal barrels and 3 for 6.5 cal.
I was on another site subject came up about wait time on barrels seem they say Rock takes 8wks.
