Im doing a little research online, but I know some of you guys run them yourselves. Needing some real world opinions from you guys. So whats the best, most accurate barrel I need to buy? Would like to keep it 18" or shorter. Thanks in advance

PSA has the CHF barrel which is made by FN. It's been super accurate for me thus far.
A real hunter never returns empty handed. Spending time in the wilderness temporarily satifies the soul, but leaves us longing for more.

I have a Wilson, ARP and Bison. The ARP and Wilson are equals IMHO. For the money, ARP is hard to beat.
God bless John Wayne!

I had a PSA 14.5" barrel which was fine. Then traded it off when i built up an ARP 12.5" barrel.

I have a Bison and like it. This is a good time to buy barrels because there are so many good ones to choose from and sometimes a high purchase price doesn't guarantee a great shooter.
Maybe Today.

I have had numerous 6.8 barrels, both of mine run the Wilson Combat 16" lightweight.
For my son's build I initially put a Noveske on it but it just didn't group as well as the WC and it got replaced with a WC.
I had two of the ARPs, the first one was an 18" but it had numerous rounds get stuck in the chamber, think it was just too tight, this was like 7 years ago though. Bison and ARP both make good barrels.
