I nowadays have a preference for cut rifling. Last barrel I got was Kreiger and except for the downside of a reasonable wait was pricewise on a par with TF.
Have Lilja, Pac-Nor, MAB, Tobler barrels and they were all similar priced to TF so no $ advantage going local. All the forementioned barrels are absolute hummers.
Only time I looked at TF was for a 7mm blank and they had just had problems with their button so passed.
Next barrel will be Bartlein in their new steel.
Criterion (button) are performing extremely well locally.
