    EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEANT BY WHAT YOU SAID.
    I'm not sure of their source name but I know they source the steel exclusively from on source

    i think criterion in prefit,
    but i doubt i would go for a prefit on any rifle i want to be top notch. close but not top.
    spend the bucks get a none nut fitted bbl.
    6mm what is your plan ? 6br/6bra/6dasher are all excellent choices.
    some of the names listed are not top IMHO
    try krieger lilja bartlien
    for a list of top bbl makers go to the top of accuracy..bench rest, look at bbl in the top 10/20 from big matches.

    This is a list of most popular barrels, and some other specs, used in the Precision Rifle Series (PRS) for reference -

    the question was 'HIGHEST QUALITY", not most popular. so look at highest accuracy shooting.

    but that data is skewed based on that series,not on accuracy.
    you have to carry the rifle, shoot at large targets(compared to br) and some of those are prefit bbl i think( maybe not).
    like i said look at benchrest results for the most accurate bbls.

    again..that discipline is NOT ABOUT TOP ACCURACY.
    it is a shooting GAME where only better than average shooting is required because of other parts of the game.

    if middle of the road is fine with you then pick anything .
    the question is "highest quality" not middle of the road.
    proof has never shot bench rest small groups ...and bench rest guys have tried

    It sounds like you know the right answer to the question.

    Why don't you just tell us so we all know?
