Re: Which .20 cal barrel?
I have a lilja and Pac nor both great. Any of the better names will be fine. More important to find a good gunsmith than barrel in my opinion especially for varminting. Barrel choice is for the long range target specialist. I would stick to stainless and get it creacoated to match. Maddco are Aussie and do good Barrels. I would avoid TSE. Sure they do good Barrels but have heard too many stories of bad ones as well

Ive heard 1 or 2 bad ones about Maddco as well and that wasn't for supplied barrel sit was for one they supplied and fitted. Everyone has a bad day.
Any of the popular barrel manufacturers will make a good barrel, get the one you prefer and all will be good.

Re: Which .20 cal barrel?
Well Pacnor seem to get some good comments so will look seriously into one of them.
Does anyone know what barrel profile is closest to a Sako heavy Sako vixen profile?

Re: Which .20 cal barrel?
I have a TSE and a Madco both clean well and are accurate
Marcus Madco do a Sako Varmint profile as well as the sporter to suit the L461
You would be hard pressed to pick the difference from a Sako factory barrel.

Lilja have a list of factory barrel contours on their website.

Im sure any barrel manufacture would be able to write a program to make the profile if they didn't have it.
