Current opinion of best aftermarket barrel?

Ok, long, long story but I was installing a long barrel in my matador r3m standard 25 and discovered that there had been a " miscommunication" between the edgun dealer and myself. I was asking for a longer barrel of the same caliber and I got a long 22 caliber. Since this was a left over part from some custom builds' he doesn't have any 25 cal barrels to sell me. Therefore I am looking at the aftermarket. The stock barrels are hand picked, custom made lw conventional rifling. Very good stuff, just too dam short for my taste. I need to be sure that I'm either putting the same quality or better back in but I'd like to see if there is anything better out there right now. I've been looking at the lw poly barrels and marmots tj barrel. Problem with the poly is that they only come in .630" and I can't fit anything over .480. The way the barrel is installed the edgun and connected to the airtube/front scope rail mount does not allow me to use a larger than stock barrel.
So, my question is: what is the hot ticket right now? What are people having good luck with these days? I don't hunt much and most of my shooting is target shooting at 90-120 yards. This is realy the only thing I'm interested in. Long range grouping. If I could get a heavier pellet than the jsb to group well out of the new barrel, that would be well worth the work. I hate the light weight jsb pellet but its the only thing grouping well in the stock barrel at long range.
P.s. I'm not ready to make the jump to shooting bullets yet. So that's out of the question right now. Maybe next year.

TJ's 25ACP liner would be one choice. I take it you do not have a lathe, because the Mrod barrel is a .5"OD Green Mountain, and would only need ~.020 removed from the OD, which could be done with a file and a drill.

I have a high opinion of Jim Gaska at marmot militia. I've been very happy with the TJ barrel I got from him for my marauder rifle. Pretty sure it shoots better than I do now, with jsb 18.1 and 15.89. Pretty decent with crosman premier domes too.
