Plus there's always the intangibles, like the satisfaction of building it yourself, and having a somewhat unique rifle. Yes, it would cost a small bit more, maybe, but the benefits outweigh the added costs. A Criterion barrel is a work of art, much nicer than a factory barrel. I don't think you'd regret it. Do you already have barrel-swapping tools?
