    True Flite. Probably easiest logistically.
    I really like True Flite barrels. I have four, all stainless steel, all different cals. I think they produce a high quality product. I borescoped each barrel I received and every one was damn near perfect.
    They will copper foul but more slowly than chrome moly in my opinion. And I reckon the copper cleans out more easily than chrome moly.
    Maybe True Flite aint quite the equivalent of the best of the best American options but I say easily more than adequate for hunting purposes. My barrels give me great accuracy.
    1 / 10 twist will be fine for 165 gn projectiles.
    Are you going with original barrel length and contour ?

    Another guy whose barrel making talents I respect is Hugh Bradley. But, unsure if he is still making them now.

    Yet another possible option is Kiwi Greg ( Terminator Products ). A member here. Makes barrels using Brux blanks and builds high accuracy rifles. Brux is a higly regarded producer of match grade barrels. Might be worth talking to Greg.
