Brux vs ace barrels

[FEENIX]

I'm interested in both because the are within 10 dollars of each other and only have experience with brux.

As with anything else, YMMV. There are people that prefer barrel X to Y. If you want to have personal experience with Ace, then try them. @Flintlock shooter is an excellent source about Ace. Otherwise, stay with Brux. Only you can make this decision as we all have varying experiences and preferences.

I'm not in a rush I'll wait if need be. I was honestly going to do a criterion prefit but since decided against that

I have built four rifles in the last two years all of them are fitted to Brux barrels and all shoot. Don't think you could go wrong with a Brux barrel, my .02. I also have a Krieger that is lights out, so I don't have any experience with most other barrel makers just my personal choice. That is the beauty of America freedom of personal choice. God Bless America.

Why do you want a Heavy Varmint? I have one on my 6mm Creedmoor and it is exactly that HEAVY.

I believe Erik Cortina shoots Brux Barrels in F class.

I don't think anyone is questioning brux quality.

We are wondering if Ace is a quality option that is cheaper currently and available.

I recently chambered a ACE Barrel in 22 Creedmoor and here are some results. The first pic is shots 11, 12 and 13 thru the barrel. The second pic is 2 shot groups later. I shot both groups prone with a bipod. Both are 3 shot groups. I'm happy with the results!!

FYI took me 4ish months for an order directly from Brux but I was good with the weight. Don't remember exact time frame but barrel was actually done before the quoted time.

I'm going to order a new barrel for a Remington 700 243 soon. Going 26 inch heavy varmint 1:8.5 twist. The 2 barrels I'm torn between are brux and ace. Any input good or bad on either would be appreciated

Brux

They say 10-12 months out now.

You won't get that from Ace Barrels....I think they are 8-10 weeks out right now.

Mine was a niche barrel that arent flying off the shelf so maybe that's why?
