Bartlein and Lilja barrels are excellent. Can't go wrong, accept they don't offer the correct profile for a Tikka.
Our barrel line came from the fact that customers were annoyed and the fact that we need to modify their barrel contours to make them fit.
After a barrel has been hand lapped, you don't want to modify the contour for fear of releasing internal stress and ruining the bore.
I don't have a 6.5BR reamer, but the 6.5x47L would be similar and have better ballistics.
