Any preference from the builders on here. These are what I can find instock at the moment. I wanted a 14.5" wlyde rainier but they are OOS.

ST FN Cold Hammer Forged Midlength forged 14.5" $250
Rainier Arms Select 16" Stainless 3 groove 1:8 $225
Daniel Defense HF Light weight Barrel 16" $260
Spikes Mid length M4 Cold HF  5.56 Barrel  14.5 $240


Open to other suggestions if anyone knows of some other good barrels that are in stock.

I am mainly looking for a moderately light setup accurate out to 300. Looking to keep spending around $250

Those are all very high quality barrels and I've used all of them with the exception of the first FN, you really can't go wrong with any of these.  What are your intended plans with the rifle?

Not many places to shoot around me so just punching paper out to 300yds but want the setup to be fairly light and accurate out to 300yds.

Sorry for such a plain jane post about barrels but it has been a few years and life got busy since I built my last 6.8 upper to know what barrels if any made accuracy advances

You've searched well. Finding four excellent barrels in stock at the moment is not easy.

Anyone of these is a great choice.

Keep in mind delta3tactical doesn't have live inventory if that's where you found them in stock...

Out of the ones you list I would get the Rainier Arms select barrel.
