Bartlein currently one of the top barrels used by the Yanks in competition closely followed by Krieger. Probably not so relevant if a hunting rifle.
Although in the States the barrel preferences seem a bit regional as well with some areas favouring Hart, Lilja and so on.
May also be in part to the supposedly (in some people's opinions ) better barrels being cut rifling.
And of course the Yanks never mention European or British barrels.

But of course VC I am not telling you anything you don't already know. Cheers
