Tomorrow I am sending my old Rem 700 stainless/detachable mag to Jarrett to get a new barrel. Any recommendations?

Using a bore scope, I have looked at lot of barrels.
Brux, Krieger, Muller for cut rifle barrels.
ABC tops on the list for button rifle barrels, next would be Lilja and Hart.
Bartlein is not on my top pick list.
Pac Nor and Lothar Walthar use a very different kind of tough steel, never seen any problems with either of them. Gunsmiths do not as a rule like using either of these two barrels due to how rough they are on tooling. A gunsmith that taper bores a chamber will never have an issue with Pac Nor or Lothar Walthar barrels.

I have had excellent accuracy with Lilja 4 groove barrels if you're looking for a steel barrel.
I love my BSF barrels 6.5 PRC if you're looking for a carbon option. It's a different use of carbon vs other brands, but the accuracy speaks for itself.
I have a 338 federal and a 6.8 western with Lilja 4 groove barrels that both shoot consistently under .25 moa out to 500yds.
The PRC hangs out with the other 2 but is a great deal lighter!
Haven't had a chance to shoot further yet sadly.

I like Bartlein.
Care to share your load info?

Bad experience with Jarrett. Rifle should be returned to me this week. If Jarrett sent me a brand new top of the line rifle, I would return it. The people working there now are dishonest and do not know what they are doing.
