Barrel choices, don't want to guess wrong! Please share your take.

Putting together a rifle and I'm down to choice on the barrel. I haven't brought that many barrels for a build, most were already builded past that point. The few I did buy for were Wilson's inwhich Brad from Urbanrifleman fixed me up with and they are shooters for sure but were very heavy barrels. The last regular barrel I used was a Douglas in 6.5 06 which was a shooter as well, and I'm leaning toward again, as well as a Brux. The gun is a Howa 1500 mini action in 6mm arc, the factory gun I have has not give me anything better than a inch no matter what I loaded for it. So I was wondering if it was me and brought a couple of different factory loads and got no better than 1 1/2". I have decided to replace the barrel with a after market and I'm down to deciding which barrel maker to go with. Please share your take, and your pros and cons with Donglas and Bruxs if you have owned them.
Thanks

Let your experience speak for itself; stick with Douglas. I do not think you can go wrong with either of your choices. You can also do a specific search for these barrels. Don't complicate it unnecessarily. Many people are pleased with them. We all have different preferences. Good luck!

Out of the options given, Brux.
