Have you printed any groups with it yet? I've always wondered how those Wilson Combat barrels worked out in home-built platforms.

I built an Aero M5 last year with a 24-inch Criterion barrel in .308 and it's been a sweet shooter. Took quite a bit of load development to get it dialed in, but it's shooting sub-minute finally :|

The Wilson didnt make it into this build because it was too short for the handguard. This is a Criterion. Shooting .7 with FGMM . I'll hopefully start load development for it towards the end of the month.
 
I’m starting to buy all the stuff for a 308 build. I have a criterion in one of my AR15s. I’ll probably get one for this project too. Though I’m seriously considering having Craddock spin up a bartlein barrel for me

I have an Aero Precision M5E1 build with a 24-inch Criterion bull barrel in 308 that I ordered from Fulton Armory. It definitely shoots sub-minute (groups are all 175 SMK w/ either RL-15 or IMR 4064), HOWEVER if I could do it all over again I'd probably have Craddock spin me up a Bartlein barrel. I've seen a few Craddock builds shoot amazing. Under stress in positional shooting on a timer, I can usually hold 1 MOA w/ the M5 - it's the really small targets that get me.
