LMT .308 barrels comparison!

[seanknox]

Ok, so I am looking into getting the .308 by LMT and need a better view on the barrels. The lower model has 6R rifling to it with a chrome lined barrel. The upgraded one has a stainless steel barrel with a 5R rifling. I can see how how the stainless would bring better accuracy but is there that much difference between the rifling?
Any personal experience with either one or facts I need to consider?

Don't think there is any R in the CL barrel. But 5r will give you a few extra fps for the same length.

FWIW I cut my CL from 16" to 13.5" and it still holds 1 MOA. Don't think you can go wrong either way.
