OK, shot this one today with a used 14.5" Criterion CORE. I would like to call the lower shot a flyer but i know real shooters dont do that. With the "flyer" it measures exactly 1" center to center with $12 a box PSA ammo. If you dont count the flyer it measures about 5/8" with the trusty tape measure. I only had about 20 min at the range as a storm was rolling in so not ideal situation. But I am starting to agree the Criterion barrels can shoot.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By doty_soty: I could never get my Faxons much under 1.5” I have a Gunner in my 3-Gun stick that’s a solid 1MOA-ish barrel with handloads, but I’ve discovered it’s not a common occurrence. I’ve won a lot of matches with that barrel, but I won’t go that way next time. |

Criterion with the 118LR chamber and a matched Fulton Armory bolt should do the trick.
I’d take a hard look at the Stainless Steel or even Carbon Fiber Proof Research barrels if you want to get really serious about this build. |

I have a 20" Faxon match barrel on my Aero Precision M5 that's been pretty disappointing...about 2.5" at 100 yards, regardless of ammo used, including Federal 168gr GMM.
After reading this thread, I just ordered a 18" Criterion barrel from Fulton Armory, which will hopefully fix the problem. I hope it works...I'm getting pretty tired of wasting my time. |
