I've done a web search for custom barrel manufactures. The prices range from $260 at Fox Ridge to $370 at SSK with Bullberry and OTT in the middle.

Does anyone have any recommendation regarding the accuracy and the quality of manufacturing for these four manufactures?

SSK would be my first choice followed by Bullberry.

Bullberry is the only one I`ve tried. I have 3 of their barrels, a .17 AH, a .17-223 and a .357 max. They are all excellant shooters. I`ve fired alot of groups with the .17 AH that were 1/4 moa or less. The .357 max. is a 15 in. pistol barrel and it will shoot 1 moa or alittle less. The .17-223 is the worst at about 1 moa., but I`m still working on it.

The only one I would go with is OTT. He is light years ahead of anyone with his chambering tech. His quality is the highest I have ever seen and that includes several BR rifles I had done by the top BR gunsmiths. Mike makes your chamber to your specs not by what ever rimmer is on hand. Send cases to Mike and your chamber will be perfect. You get your chamber cut to your brass and you don't have to make your brass fit the chamber what was cut with reamer on hand. I don't have any stock in OTT just have three new barrels from him and three rechambers and one new barrel on the way. He cares about his work and will work with you to see you have the best.
