    What 11.5 barrel has proven to be most accurate? If any.

    As one might suspect I'm looking for a 11.5" barrel for an sbr build I've recently begun.



    I am fully aware that "precision" and "sbr" aren't usually found in the same sentence, but nonetheless, that's what I want to build. Within reason of course, sub 300 yards 90% of the time, 500 yards just for fun around 9%, and I will inevitably be at the 1000 yard range and be like what the hell, you guessed it, maybe 1%.



    Purely for fun shooting no hunting. Well hogs maybe.



    I've checked out:

    ○Noveske (non CHF) (w/head spaced bolt since they offer it)

    ○BCM ss 410 (have 16" version and it's been pretty accurate with most all ammo, haven't shot enough to really test it's potential)

    ○BCM BFH (would prefer this due to chrome bore)


    And others that don't stand out as much.

    I will check out centurion but if i remember correctly they are out of my price range. (Sub $375 if at all possible)



    If it matters my setup will be
    mur upper
    noveske billet lower (at engraver now hopefully)
    bcm kmr 10"
    Some geissele trigger probably
    etc etc

    Your bullet will not maintain stability out to 1k with an SBR. If you want to EFFECTIVELY reach out to 1k you'll need at least 18".

    Check put Daniel Defense. Though they'll be right at the limit of your price range. I'm running a 14.5 from them and that is the vest barrel iv had. Its a tac driver now its not like some Douglas barrel but for a carbine barrel its awesome way better than what I had in the military haha check em out

    I doubt I personally will ever be "EFFECTIVE" at 1000 regardless of firearm, caliber, barrel length, etc. But it sure is fun trying.

    It's cool if my bullets tumbling at that distance, even if its going so slow bounces off the steel, I still hit .

    I've got a BCM, it is very accurate. Highly recommended.
