[QUOTE="264MHC, post: 2045305, member: 111161"] I have 3 6.5 Grendel barrels. A Hardened arms HBAR 16” that I picked up for $100 actually shot sub MOA consistently but was too heavy. Replaced it with a Faxon gunner 16” barrel that has been exceptionally accurate with my hand loaded 123 ELDm and 107 TMK both holding .5 Moa with a 6 power scope, but it’s a slow barrel[B]. [/B]My other barrel was a custom Xcaliber 18” SS 5r barrel that was pretty solid averaging around .6 moa and had 20” barrel velocities. Only reason I’m not using it now is because I swapped it for a 20” BHW 243 LBC (6mm Grendel), which has been awesome. I really like the 6mm version better myself. Either way with the way you plan to use the rifle definitely opt for a lighter contour barrel. You really don’t want to go over 34-36oz or it will feel very front heavy. Carbon fiber handgaurds are your friend there as well and feel so much better in the cold. [/QUOTE]
