Looking for a more accurate 6.8 barrel, has anyone tired the Wilson Combat barrels?

I have a 16" stainless mid length gas and it has been great IMO.  120 SST's and AA 2200 1-1.5" 5 shots at 100, 110 TSX with AA 2460 0.75" 5 at 100, 110 sierras 1.5-2", 130 Partitions 1.5".

I have a 16in. 308 wilson bbl. Accuracy has been less than 1 in at 100yds with my handloads.

I have two in 7.62x40WT and both are tackdrivers.  I couldn't be happier with them.  Well, I guess I could.  Instead of constant 5/8 to 3/4 inch gorups I could get under 1/2 inch but some would say I was asking for too much.

I was looking at the 16" mid length barrel. I'm between WC and Bison, currently have a Stag and the groups are a little big.

I have an 18" rifle gas 5.56 barrel and it is easily sub moa with handloads. I'm very impressed with the accuracy.

I have bought 2, both 16" 300 BO, 1 LW 1 Recon. Both perfection. Easy m.o.a.

I have one of their 18" 556 bbls.

This is what I can count on with my handloads.

Same results here.  Well under 1 moa with 55gr vmax out of a 20 inch bull barrel.

Wonder what the 308 barrels are like

I have the 16" stainless fluted match grade 6.8 barrel. It's sexy as hell AND very accurate....or......accurate as hell AND very sexy......
Part #: TR-68RC16F
All of my stuff is packed away in boxes because we sold our house and living with family for a bit so I don't have specific numbers but I would recommend WC for sure!

For a 6.8 barrel, I would look at either Bison Armory or the company that can't be named here.

Two years ago I replaced my 6.8 RRA 16" heavy barrel with a WC 6.8 SPC II, Tactical Lightweight, 16", 1-11 Twist, Stainless.  

Outstanding accuracy using SSA 110 grain Pro Hunter and SSA 85 grain Barnes TSX, the Barnes print tighter MOA groups.

I will purchase another 6.8 Wilson Combat barrel for a build to give my son.

I just bought a Wilson Combat 16" 6.8 midlength off of Gunbroker. Just got delivery Friday. Going to try and get it built up in the next few weeks.
