I'm a Shilen guy, Kreiger will get my money next in line, Lilja, Douglas, and McGowen fighting for 3rd... If I had 100 rounds difference between a Kreiger and a Shilen 6.5-284 barrel, I can't remember which survived longer.
I've only had one set back, after I did, I mentioned it in passing to Boyd Allen on the phone, he said I should expect around 50% life compared to pre-set back, assuming I did it early enough. Not surprisingly, he wasn't wrong.
I've yet to have anything I'd call a "bad barrel," but I suppose I've paid too much for a few. I try to buy multiple barrels at once so I can get discounts on Shilens. Or maybe I'm not brave enough to branch too far from Shilen & Kreiger and missing out on some amazing barrels...

I have lilja, kreiger, hart, lothar walther, broughton, kinda torn between brux, rock creek, and a new localguy...hawk hill will take a day to go talk to him soon.
NM, kreigers shoot damn good but a bit slower than button rifled barrels, if you wanna shoot berger bullets cut rifling is rough on them.
