Best source for budget barrels would be Apache Gun Works. Jim does great work and has built a business of chambering less than high end barrels with the same care as he would any other. He has a good story and reputation. Check out his web site.
As far as I am concerned, all the other $3-400 aftermarket barrels are pretty much the same quality. I have certainly not owned them all, but a couple, and based on reports herand elsewhere, they are all good (better than I can shoot, for sure). Once you've determined what cartridge you want, pick your barrel based on availability and the quality of service you are offered by the vendor. McGowen, McGowen Outlet, Gun Shack, Northland Shooter Supply, Apache Gun Works, Sharp Shooter Supply and maybe another all support this site and have excellent reputations. I encourage you to check them all out. BTW, Jim (Apache Gun Works) does not limit his trade to "budget" barrels, but he is building a niche in that market.
