Buying an aftermarket barrel for 300WM

[Pappasniper]

I own 4 Rem 700 5R barrels. Two in 300WM. All but one shoot sub moa. I did a pin test on this barrel because I knew something was not right. In short, its not consistent size all the way through. There is about 6 inches of tight spot in the center of barrel.

Therefore, I want to buy a 26 inch 300 WM barrel. Krieger is about a 10 yr wait time. Who has top quality barrels, comparable to Krieger that are available?

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

I left a message for Bugholes. I will grab a Bartlein of their suggestion. Looks good enough to me. From what I read the barrels go toe to toe with Kreiger.
