I've read and looked and still a little confused.
I want a really good barrel for a new build, rifle length.
Superior barrels, WOA are the contenders so far.
18" or 20" shooting up to mag length 77 grain boolits, so a 1/7 or 1/8 twist. Also some surplus for plinking,  but mainly handloads. 62, 75, and 77 grainers
Springfield trigger groups on the way, other goodies as well.
Every barrel maker is the best, that's a given. I read it on their websites so it must be so.

What I want to build is a basic flat top, scoped, BUIS, and accurate. I'll reuse my YHM flip front sight. A drop in barrel is what I'm after (I think).
Superior has the flats for windage adjustable front sights, not needed. I wonder if my front sight just bolts on over this flat without grief?
Comments here and other sites swear by WOA and Superior barrels. Barrel life is supposed to be great with both.

So which would you choose and why? I'm open to other suggestions as well.


(Elaborate if you will; even though I've studied up on this,
I don't understand all I know about it )
