[QUOTE="Smithy62, post: 1979001, member: 112065"] Not really! For one: lately CF brl’s have become the latest a la Tesla trend, mostly due to purposely targetted (mis)advertising just like the way Hornady has pushed their 6.5CM up front in favour of the 6.5x47 Lapua and shoved down NA shooting communities throats! 2ndly): during their mfg’ring process, one has no control over which quality inside brl-liner was used nor what its steel properties are, ie SS/CrMb2! 3rdly): CF brl’s are highly over-rated asfar as their beneficial properties goes, are costlier to produce at more then double to triple the cost of any custom brl and are in actual fact in by far most cases displaying shorter bore-life, with little or no real substantial gains in accuracy if compared to factory standard brl’s, wether SS/CrMb2! The gap widends even more if compared to the higher quality after-market custom brl’s; especially so if compared to properly stress-relieved deep-fluted brl’s, which still hold the edge in all beforementioned fields! That’s just my two cents worth of humble practical gunmaking experiences! Below a 100yrd sample of one of my 6.5-284 custom ‘acme’ deep-fluted brl’s!
