That should serve you well. You could also consider Criterion with a matched bolt as well. Would be around the same price. Krieger and Bartein if you are really looking for a top notch barrel, but spendy and you will have to wait to get a barrel from either.

Sample size of one, but I bought an upper with an Odinworks barrel in 6.5 recently.
It is superbly accurate with 100 grain wolf and 123 gr Hornady. As I said, my only experience with one barrel, but I'm impressed. edited to add, 18" 1/8. |

I came very close to going with the Odin barrel. Ended up with a semi-custom barrel from another manufacturer and I’ll just say I really wish I had tried the Odin.
Plenty of good reports on them. |

I would give it a try. The reviews on Odin's webpage are great... but dated. Be sure to order a rifle length gas tube with it. And I think today is the last day for the 12% off coupon ( SAVE12 ) |

As stated above, the Odin should serve you well.
But, don't overlook Satern Barrels. https://www.saternbarrels.net/ They made my Grendel barrels with matched bolts. They are excellent. |

The Odin Works barrel in my original post went on sale so I pulled the trigger on it

+1 on satern for 6.5G, but a friend has used lots of Odin as well and had great success. Best of luck and let us see what kind of performance you wind up with!

My Odin 16" is a solid moa shooter with most loads, doesn't like Hornady sst's (1.25"+ @100)too much though but that's typical of number of different barrels, it's pretty light weight as well and machined nicely. My Lilja on the other hand, I haven't anything it won't shoot very well including the sst's.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Odin Works barrel in my original post went on sale so I pulled the trigger on it Let us know how it shoots. I have heard good things about them. I have one of their 12in 6.5gr barrel kits I’m going to finish building soon. If it shoots good and kills deer good I might get one of their 16 or 18in too. |

I think I have most of the parts to complete the upper and have an action block set coming that should arrive next week.
Still need to decide on a muzzle device and scope. I haven't a clue on muzzle device yet. Scopes I'm looking at something that has 4-16 range like the Vortex Diamondback Tactical FFP or the Arken SH4. I need fo decide if illuminated reticle and zero stop is something important to me or not. I'm kind of leaning towards the Vortex, because I would like to support a Wisconsin company. |

Chunky upper ? Just under 7 pounds.
 VG6 Precision GAMMA 65 should be here Wednesday and I can shoot it. |

I’ve got an Odin 6.5 barrel and matched bolt. I would consider accuracy to be “acceptable,” but certainly not excellent. Very ammo sensitive as well.

Finally picked up a lower for this upper build. I'm excited to get to try it out I can do 300 yards at the local range then I'll have to find somewhere else to stretch it out further.
