Same about the Rainer but I gave up waiting for one and went with the AR performance melonite. I am liking the benefits of melonite so far, cleans up super easy and getting about 3/4" groups at 50 yards with iron sights.
Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.

Rainier Arms Select barrels are a good compromise between price and accuracy. I don't think there will be much difference between them and the rest.
I own a 16" Rainier Match barrel and am very happy with it. I have no trouble punching 1" groups with match ammo. I have never really tried to get the most out of it, im sure it is capable of 3/4 MOA accuracy if I put in the time.
