[QUOTE="liltank, post: 638453, member: 13275"] I'm a fan of Lothar Walther barrels. They are made with a 550 stainless unlike the barrels made here in the states which use a 416 stainless. The 550 is harder and more durable. Not sure if that will make a difference in longevity, but my barrel is very accurate. I have shot a few .1" 3 shot groups and averages .2-.3 MOA to 800yds with my accuracy loads (my rifle is a custom Savage in .308). My cousin has a Douglas on his 338 Lapua. Seems to be a pretty accurate barrel. Obermyer, Kreiger, Hart, Brux, all get the nod too. I would get a 1:10 twist in a 28". I like a heavy barrel, so mine would be a medium Palma, Sendero, or Savage Varmint contour. Other will chime in. [/QUOTE]
