Anderson vs. PSA/Wilson Stainless barrels
I'm looking to build a 20-24" rifle mostly for 100 yard and eventually 200-300 yard range use (and if any other opportunity presented itself, maybe varmint). No competition, no severe duty or harsh environment. Just a decent quality, relatively accurate weapon.
I have everything picked out or in hand and the only thing I haven't decided on is the barrel. I like either the PSA 20" CHF 410 stainless $300, Wilson match grade super sniper 416 $250 or this 24" Anderson 416 fluted and nonthreaded barrel $240.

I like the look of the crown but haven't shot a non-muzzle device AR so not sure if the rise will be much worse, though the barrel is much heavier than my lightweight 16" AR so may not be bad.
I also will be using 55 or 62 grain cheap ammo from tulammo (no shame) to federal m193 and any decent reloads I can get but definitely no match grade high end stuff. If anyone has input about these three (or another similar) barrel choices I would greatly appreciate it.
