Exactly - unless one is desiring a rifle for Bench Rest shooting at 1,000 yards or beyond (indeed, about all .30 cal. military sniper barrels, at least up until recently have been buttoned) the barrels mode of rifling matters not a whit.
Here in North America for varmint, big game and match rifle shooting, barrels made by Pac-Nor are probably the best deal. They run around $220.00US for a stainless, but less for chromemoly.
