NSS has a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel that I believe is a takeoff from an LRP (Large Shank which is what I need as it is going on a M11 WSM action).

I know that, typically, custom barrels shoot better than factory barrels. How would a Savage LRP barrel compare with a CBI bull barrel? I've got it on my list of things to do to call Jim and ask him abour pricing for fluting to make an apple to apple comparison.

The LRP takeoff is $275. The CBI barrel is going to be $280 (roughly) plus the cost of fluting. If the LRP barrel is going to shoot fairly close to the CBI, I'd rather save a little bit and go with the LRP. If the CBI is going to shoot the lights out of an LRP takeoff, then I guess I'm saving a little longer to go with the CBI.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
