3gun rifle barrel choice

constructor · January 30, 2008, 10:31 PM

I hate burning the throats out of my stainless match barrels in high round count events.
I am thinking about having a bunch of better quality barrels made with a good chamber and 8 twist and having them chromelined.
Most around here seem to like 16" but what do you guys think about length and having a better quality blank chromelined?

17" medium contor with a rifle lenght gas system. According to me smith the 17" is the shortest you can go with a rifle lenght gass system and still be reliable. Then have an 8 twist and a wyld chamber. This I think would be the hot setup.
