Yea I lucked out and grabbed an X-Caliber when they did the 50% off sale. X-Caliber doesn't have the rep that craddock has but man that thing has been a laser since I figured out the ELD tip breakage.True enough unfortunately. My Craddock Precision barrel with matching bolt and threaded was over $500. It shoots lights out, but then I already knew that Craddock had the chamber and throat worked out.
FWIW I put a ballistic advantage barrel on our 6.5 build because as I was gathering parts I came across the premium series on closeout for like $175 and thought, why not give it a shot at that price.... It's a hammer as well. It was literally shooting 1/2 moa on the first day with random break in loads. I think with that tier of barrels it can be a bit of a gamble though.
