I have 3 Bullberry barrels, and they're all fantastic - absolutely top-notch!  However, don't be in a hurry, it will take a while to get one, Bullberry has been behind schedule for a year now.

Actually, running behind scedule has been Fred's normal method of operation at Bullberry for at least the last 20 years.   How much behind varies from a few weeks to a few months, but you have almost always been able to count on your order being shipped later than was promised to you when you placed the order.

MGM is a great option. I have and shoot several. Quality is second to none. And delivery has allways been 4 to 6 weeks just like they told me.

I have 3 of Fred's barrels and they are shooters no doubt!! Would not order from him as his delivery times are not always met. Bought my barrels 2nd hand.

My experience is the same as people spoke of above. Took too long to get the barrel, whole rifle actually. But the thing shoots very good. Once I iron out a few little things, I expect it to shoot GREAT. Just haven't had time to address the little things yet.

Over all, I'm happy. But I honestly don't think I'll be ordering from them again since they are less than truthful about their lead times.

Great products. Top notch quality and craftsmanship. Good pricing. Just not good in the scheduling and customer relations dept.

I have several and all are good shooters, would not part with any of them. Fred has always bent over backward to help me out and delivery has always been close to promised. The last barrel I ordered I was told it could be up to 6-8 months.It showed up in about 7 months if I remember. My card didn't get charged until it shipped.

Nice wood stuff from him also.

I had 2.
A 26" 225 Win and a 24" 270.
I ordered these together many years ago.
I don't remember what they cost at the time but they were a heck of a lot cheaper than they are now!
I also ordered one of his forearms to fit both barrels and I do remember that it cost $49.00.
At the time the only way he would guarantee the accuracy of their barrels was if you bought their forearm.
I don't know if that is still their policy now or not.
It only took about a month to get them back then.
I sold the 270 barrel to my hunting buddy and he tried to order a forearm for it.
Gave them the specs of the barrel at the time he ordered it and they said no problem.
After 3 months and several calls and a cost of $115.00 it finely arrived.
Didn't fit the barrel at all.
Wasn't even close.
I ended up buying the barrel back from my buddy just so he wouldn't be stuck with something he couldn't use.
As far as I know he still has the forearm.

They are top notch barrels and shoot great but if that is the way they are running their business now then I would never order another one from them.
Just our/my experiences with BULBERRY.
