I have had dealings with Russell.
Other than the wait.All was well.
My understanding is that they have a military contracts.
The gov calls up and demands x number of barrels.
It puts them in a bind for the one and two order stuff....

A 6.5 Rem varmint for a 6.5mm SLR 12 pound 1000 yard rifle.
As competitive as anything else I have used and i've used just about everything..
Have no experience with Rocks button barrels..

For a hunting rifle.
Follow the advise of your gunsmith.
