Ordered a Criterion after weighing the options.

I already have the M5E1 upper minus barrel. Looking for a lighter profile than the bull aero uses as well. FA also uses bull profile.

Spoke to a Faxon rep who said they were in production and they would have some at NRA which starts the 27th. Who knows when they will go up for sale though. Might be worth it to wait, however the Criterion does seem to have everything I want.

I have an M5E1 with SD-E trigger and DWilson bcg just waiting for a good 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. I am not looking to go too heavy and would prefer to stay at 18-20" I was initially looking at BA 18" and 20" but I don't really care for the bull profile of them. Any suggestions for a 18-20" would be appreciated. I am currently leaning toward the Criterion barrels sold at Brownells due to their profile and reputation. I know Faxon is going to be releasing a 6.5 Creedmoor and I may wait to look at those. Any info is appreciated.
