[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1112493, member: 54178"] I like the answers I'm hearing from my post question. Probably my Ruger Precision Rifle factory barrel will last at least a year of training and competition. After that I'll get a Bartlein barrel and maybe a slightly faster twist rate, like 1:7.8 or 7.6 instead of the factory supplied 1:8. I'll check the research on 6.5 CM to see what is the sweet spot for it with bullets above 120 grains. I think my wet dream would be to have a Bartlein barrel "core" wrapped in carbon fiber by Christensen Arms. At least as an experimental barrel. (That, of course, will happen when I hit the lottery.) Greater stiffness, lighter weight, faster cooling. A good carbon fiber wrap is like Viagara for barrels. [/QUOTE]
