[QUOTE="Australia, post: 1977435, member: 106835"] We trialled Christian Arms 6.5cm with a carbon barrel and found that due to the expansion coefficient difference between the inner barrel and outer rap glass - after the first shot we couldnt get a group as it was like haveing your stock touching the barrel - we had two experts {gun smiths of note } check out the problem and still we couldnt get the gun to group after the first shot - if the barrel was cold it wasn't to bad but any steel barrel - particularly hammer forged barrels, are the only way for us in commercial hunting - end of story we got our money back on the 6.5cm [/QUOTE]
