    At that price range you're at the top tier of barrel makers. You won't regret any barrel you purchase. Rock Creek, Broughton, Benchmark, Krieger, Bartlein, Hart, Obermeyer, you won't go wrong.

    I never had a Benchmark but I did have a Broughton in 7mm. Very good barrel.

    I have a Benchmark and it shoots great but next barrel is gonna be a "cut" barrel instead of button rifled. I'm thinking my next one will be a Brux. Advantage to a Benchmark is you can order a prefit straight from them.

    This is my third Broughton Barrel. I have a AR10 with a Broughton on it that has a very high round count and still shoots sub moa and cleans up quick and easy. And prior I had a 6.5 x 55 built by SSS and that rifle had a 6.5 Broughton (non canted land) and that rifle and barrel shot lights out.

    To your question, yes I am running a canted land Broughton on my 6.5 Creedmore. So far the barrel and caliber is making me very happy.

    I have 2 Benchmark barrels. They both shoot great. Like Varget 7-08 said, at that price point they're all good barrels.
