I've had some totally incredible Schneiders in .340 and .375 Wby and 7's, and 6's. Oddly, I can't recall having a .270 Schneider, had a couple Lilja's and they both sucked rocks.  Dober

I have done lots of research through many websites and compiled a list of the best barrel makers by caliber. The company's I list below make good barrels but they seem to have a reputation north american wide for that certain caliber. Only ones I researched are calibers I was interested in.
.243/6mm - Krieger
.264/6.5mm - Broughton 5C
.308 - Rock
.338 - Bartlein
These are to ones that showed up over and over as recomended for those calibers.
However we have so many good barrel makers we really cant go wrong. Hart,shilen,schneider,lijia,pacnor,lothar walther,Brux,Benchmark,
World wide
Border and Trueflite
Canadian
Gaillard,RKS,Mick Mcphee,Mclennen
There are more but that was off the top of my head. So we do have many options. In fact maybe too many how do you pick?

There is certainly an embarrassment of riches available these days in quality barrels.

I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.

I appreciate all the replies. I guess, in the end, I'll just go with what the 'smith recommends. In this case it happens to be Hart because they lap their barrels AFTER fluting as opposed to before.

Ended up going with Brux. I was very happy with my last two and gunsmith was good with it too. I guess the concern is fluting a finished barrel might affect the internal dimensions. As it turns out, Brux doesn't even finish ream until after the fluting is done. That and the fact that my last two Bruxes performed very well led to my decision.
