Who makes the best aftermarket barrels? What are you useing?

Haven't had to replace a barrel yet...but I'm working on it !!

People seem to be attached to a particular barrel manufacturer, like most of us are attached to a certain gun manufacturer. Some guys like Krieger, some guys like Shilen or Douglas...or others. If I were you, I would do your homework, and try to find a barrel that meets what you are looking for in caliber/application, and go from there. There are a number of great barrels out there, but some of them (in my humble opinion) shine more brightly than others, depending upon how they are used. Basically, there is no right or wrong answer to your question. Good luck.

Here's a List of Aftermarket/Custom Barrel Makers w/Links to their Web Sites:
Bartlein: http://www.bartleinbarrels.com/index.htm
Bergara: http://www.bergarabarrels.com/bergarabarrels/
Douglas: http://www.douglasbarrels.net/

McGowen: http://www.mcgowenbarrel.com/
Pac-Nor: http://www.pac-nor.com/
Shilen: http://www.shilen.com/
