Best 6.8spc Barrel? - 11/16/16 10:14 PM

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

I've got a Wilson Combat lightweight hunter stainless that is flawless, ans sub MOA at 235 yards

People saw ARP makes the best, but i have no complaints.

PSA has the CHF barrel which is made by FN. It's been super accurate for me thus far.

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

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.

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.
