IBI Barrel

[Walt]

Are there any opinions / views / first hand reports on IBI Barrels (Canadian Manufacturer). Most of the reviews I have read are getting a bit long in the tooth.

I have several, all spun up by LRP Solutions, all shoot very well for my style of shooting, keeping under 0.5MOA without much hassle.
Maybe not for an F-Class open Queens rifle??

IBI barrels in general are ok. Many of our group have had them chambered and they can shoot with reasonable precision.
If your budget was really tight then maybe they are an option (but the sport is very expensive so that's not really a point is it).
A common observation is they are "slow". You lose a fair bit of MV with same load compared to a top tier barrel.
I've had four IBI's, got them crazy cheap on a group buy.
Believing that the barrel is more than likely the greatest factor in rifle performance, I wouldn't buy any more of them, except for say a hunting rig.
Anyone that says they are as good as a Bartlein, Kreiger, etc is kidding themselves and probably drives a Great Wall.

Do some costings - the extra $300-400 for a top brand barrel is a very small part of the overall cost per round sent.
And you can shoot and KNOW you are using the best possible equipment.
As usual, just my 2c
