The groups with my 223/5.56 stainless steel Bull barrel for varmint hunting are starting to grow and I have to think about a SS bull barrel replacement. Any recommendations as to which company makes accurate barrels? Any companies to stay away from? So many to pick from........ thoughts, suggestions, please?

How much are you willing to spend?
I would like a good one and I'm thinking in the $300 range.
I've had excellent results with AR Performance barrels in 6.8 SPC so would expect no less from other calibers.
You could buy a complete upper minus BCG for little more than that. Or are ARs still demanding silly prices?
I got the everything but the lower receiver Bushmaster Varminter pre-Remington buy out 1 in 9 twist (I think?).
Plenty of 'good' barrels @ $150-200 but 'premium' barrels cost more.
The 'stay away from' list begins with BCA.
Stay away from Bear Creek
EABco has a 24" bull barrel on sale for $299
not a recommendation just a notice
KM Tactical and they sell on GB. Have 2 of them and they are both sub MOA.
I'd want to ask the specifics on barrel KM sells. IMHO they're a reseller of budget quality parts. Nothing wrong with that but shouldn't expect premium grade parts at cheap prices. I'd spend a bit more for FAXON or ROSCOE. CBC sells some decent barrels.
