Krieger and Border have made the very best barrels I have owned. Had good experiences with Bartlein and Shilen too.
I had a couple of Broughtons that were good, but had one that shifted a 1/2 MOA after the cold bore shot and then tightened up for the next shots in sequence. The smith who did several barrels for me blamed the barrel. The barrel maker blamed the smith. The same smith replaced it with a Krieger and everything worked again. A couple other Broughton were ok, but I will not buy any more barrels from him after that hassle and waste of time.
