Thoughts on White Oak predator AR barrels...

[leroy]

Been thinking about an 18 inch " precision " AR.   Thinking about the 18 inch, 1 in 8 twist " Preditor " barrel...

Does anyone have any experience with White Oak..?  They come pretty highly recommended...

Any thoughts on alternate barrels that do the same thing...?

Thanks in advance.

I have had one AR in .204 Ruger with a White Oak barrel.  I didn't put it together.  Leroy you have been around long enough you might remember Brent aka @Rightwinger.  He built this AR and loved the White Oak barrel.  I shot it for a couple of years before I sold it.  I was always impressed with the accuracy of the barrel.

New some friends who shot high power and went to Camp Perry every year and they highly recommended White Oak

I had a "bench" AR built with a White Oak 24" heavy barrel. It was as accurate as any bolt gun I've owned. Only dislike was that it was a 10lb AR! Sold it through TGO a few years back. The new owner was quite happy with it.

My concern too... I may look at the lighter contour barrels... The " Predator" is a bit lighter than the " Varmit ", but I'ma guessin the whole rig would be 8 lb or so... 

Thanks a bunch...

I used to have a rifle that had a white oaks armament barrel. It was a tack driver, well as good of a shot as I could do. The barrels came highly recommended from some dudes I knew in the AMU when I was at Fort Benning.

I have an SPR that I built with an 18” White Oak barrel in .223 Wylde. It’s a tack driver. I’ve had it 10 plus years and it’s still serving me well. I can’t remember what contour it is, so I’m no help there.  My whole setup is rather heavy but I expected that with how I built it. I think you will be happy with one of their barrels.

White oak is good to go. I’d also look at larue if you don’t find what you are looking for at white oak.
