Full description and what we offer
Criterion Barrels manufactures rifle barrels for competitive shooters, hunters, and custom builders. Their lineup spans AR-15 platforms, bolt-action rifles, and vintage military systems—each barrel built with the same commitment to accuracy that's made them a go-to name in precision rifle circles.
Pre-fit barrels for Savage and Remington 700 actions are their bread and butter. These drop-in barrels save you the gunsmith trip—a 15-minute install with basic tools. They offer custom chamberings, multiple contours, and hand-lapped options for shooters who demand .25 MOA accuracy.
Their AR-15 line includes CORE Series barrels and hybrid options in common and specialty calibers. Vintage military barrels cover M1 Garands, M1903A3, Lee Enfields, and M14/M1A platforms—critical for CMP matches and restoration builds.
Over 30 years of experience and expertise go into every Criterion barrel. This experience combined with gun barrel quality steels, stringent inspections at every process, and employees' commitment to quality make a Criterion barrel the best choice.
Hand-lapped options deliver sub-MOA performance straight out of the box. Easy installation means you don't need a gunsmith—critical for hunters and builders who want quick turnarounds.
Their shooter testimonials tell the real story. One Wyoming hunter contacted Criterion two and a half years before his antelope hunt, built a .260 Remington Savage with a Criterion pre-fit barrel, and grouped it to half-inch at 200 yards. His load: 140gr Hornady A-Max bullets. The rifle performed flawlessly at 300 yards in field conditions—exactly what a barrel should do when it matters.
Popular Models: AR-15 CORE Series ($329.99), Savage Pre-Fit Barrels ($475), Lee Enfield No. 4 ($379.99)
