.308 AR Barrel

[HeyWho]

Hi guys,
I am considering either a Criterion or a Rainer Arms Ultra Match - any thoughts? I am going to purchase a 20" barrel for LR-308/AR-10 set up in 308.

Thanks!

I've built a couple out of the rainier arms ultra match and they have been fantastic shooters. I believe they are shilen ultra match barrels cut to rainiers specs.

Hi,
Thanks for the info. Someone told me today that Rainer UM are blanks from Criterion... So many darn choices, I just don't know

They may be. At one time I'm sure it was shilen and criterion was making the match. They had 3 levels. That may have changed. I've shot several criterion chrome line in 5.56 and they shoot well but not with the ultra match. That's not really an apples to apples comparison though.
