Best barrel money can buy
If money wasn't an issue, what barrel would you buy and why?

Titanium Longbow - Supposedly, the most accurate barrel ever made.

High quality Barrels have already proven to have very little to do with accuracy so unless you show proof previous statement is bs.

I've used TI Longbows before, and they're really no better than an Ultralite or any other quality barrel. The accuracy difference between any quality barrel is so miniscule that you're better off focusing on other benefits such as efficiency and sound signature reduction. You want better accuracy? Buy better paint.
However, if money were no issue, I'd get a set of CF Boomsticks just because I like the look of them.

LAPCO FUSE KIT.
Full kit is like $200, but after watching a broken ball video on YouTube, where accuracy returned after only 20 shots - I'm sold.

What about them? They are nice barrels but you're essentially paying for a polished metal tube and Lapco has always made great barrels at a great price.

If i did not have the Furious barrel i would have bought a kit of those.
I find myself using my Furious barrel more often than not, because it has such great accuracy compared to most other barrels. Of course, paint has alot to do with accuracy, as do the consistency of your marker, but Furious shoots insanely straight. Many others would vouch for it.
I place the Disruptive death touch at second place, mainly because of its quietness and the ridges in the porting may come in handy. I do not have this barrel.

I wish I'd gotten a ramrod back where they were readily available.

So, considering I'm using tourny paint. What is the best on sound sig. and efficiency. Also what looks the best of the more expensive barrels?
And also how do these higher priced barrels compare to an ultra light(barrel I own)

A barrel is a barrel pretty much. Your paint makes faaaaaaaar more difference. Yes more ported barrels are quieter and less efficient and longer control bores are more efficient but really unless you have a terrible stock barrel (like a .695 that is 2 inches long and rough on the inside) you're not going to notice much improvement.
Save your money and buy quality paint instead, that will be more noticeable of an improvement.

Best sound sig? Thats up to you man. How can we tell you what looks the best too.
Most efficient will be an underbore.
Really, you are worrying too much about this. What is wrong with your UL? Just keep using that and buy the best paint.

I'm not worrying at all. For me personally, if I have the option to increase performance I usually jump on it, but I mostly just wanted to clear up a couple questions I had.
Thanks for the answers guys.

I'm interested, Which barrel do you use most if you compete or when you want the best results for your set up.?

90% of the time, I'm using my Deadlywind with SS inserts. I break out my Furious kit, and Lucky15's from time to time, but the Deadlywind is my go to barrel. Haven't had the time to test the Deathtouch yet, hoping it lives up to the hype.
I'm usually shooting 1 of the following: GT, G6R, or S6.5

I like my furious barrel but the paint is the biggest deciding factor.
