That's a hell of a deal. I had a rock creek barrel on a Remington 700. It would put 5 rounds in a single hole if I did my part.

HOLY CRAP.
I am definitely interested.
Here is a concept for you UW... please tell me your opinion.
I am considering building another upper and getting that Vortex 2.5-10x FFP to put on it. It will be my paper punching and 600+ yard gun (upper). For a long range gopher shooter would that be better served by an 18" barrel or would a 16" be fine for a .223?

You're killing me! I have so many things running around my head right now LOL
Do you know if these barrels are treated like the Select line is (for extended barrel life)? I have the Rainier Select barrel on mine now and my best performance to date was a group smaller than a dime (and even then I felt like I pulled a shot). That was at 100 yards with a 4x scope. I am sure that I could best that even with what I have.
Under optimal conditions assuming IDEAL conditions and IDEAL ammo, what kind of performance difference would be seen between the select line and this match line? I noticed the chamber is wylde and not the 5.56, it also has different rifling, and maybe a slightly different contour... but other than that... what is the real deal on 'match grade' barrels....

Forgive my "newb" questions... Can you shoot 556 in a Wylde barrel? Would you want to? Would this be more of a bench gun barrel?

Most bench shooters would have a straight .223 chamber. But there you are talking about ridiculous accuracy. You will be rolling your own finely tuned ammo built for YOUR GUN otherwise you won't get the most out of the barrel.

Thanks for the info. We still need to try to make it out to the range sometime. This barrel is a very good deal, but I will probably get one based on budget. Ballistic Advantage is giving away a barrel sometime next week. If I'm able to continue my winning ways, I get to choose any 16 inch barrel that they make. They have two 16" Hanson profile barrels. One is stainless steel and chambered in 223 Wylde. The other is a melanite treated barrel in and 556. My preference is to buy a BCM or DD CHF barrel. My budget may put me in the Ballistic Advantage barrel arena.

I am ready to go when you are. It's only half an hour... but after this weekend the time will change so then it becomes much easier to arrange stuff. Seriously, I am not by any means an expert nor do I have the amount of experience as Uwone but I will tell you that for a general purpose rifle you can go overboard with the barrel. If you are going stainless steel I wouldn't even hesitate to buy the Rainier Select Medcon. It will be MORE than enough. After learning a lot on this Rainier has the best all around package by far.
BUT if you want to shoot a general AR and aren't going to fawn over what kind of ammo to get... just get a general purpose barrel.
