I need some opinions on which manufacturer (ie. bushmaster, Armalite, Olympic, Wilson, Krieger...etc.) makes the best barrel as far as accuracy and longevity vs. the cost for a 24 inch bull barreled varmint AR. All opinions are greatly appreciated. |

Krieger is the most accurate of any barrel and longest lasting stainless barrel. Its also the most expensive. Bushmaster chrome lined is probably the cheapest, longest lasting and will still give SUB MOA performance. Oly and Armalite both make good barrels for the money. If its a custom rig and you need performance near the Krieger without the cost get a Douglas. I have never even fired a Wilson AR so I cant comment. |

The Wilson is a high quality barrel as well. Personally, after cleaning three barrels one night, I am now a convinced chrome fan. The ease of cleaning is well worth the loss of any acuracy especially on the shorter barrels. |
