[QUOTE="Northkill, post: 2225257, member: 110890"] My Proof is ok, but the Bartlein Carbon seems to have some advantages. Bartlein used to make the barrels for Proof, and Proof just did the carbon. I think since Proof decided to do everything in house, there's been some issues during the learning curve. Some shoot crazy good, the next one just can't be tuned to hold 1/2 MOA. Some have tight spots in the barrels that affect pressure and velocity, if not accuracy. Bartlein doesn't do a straight cut on the steel after the shank like some do. Theirs has a radius more like a normal steel barrel, which adds a little bit of weight, but seems to offer more rigidity and consistency over shot strings. After trying a Bartlein Carbon once, that's all I even look at anymore. Hard to find a Bartlein that doesn't shoot. They'll do a custom twist and offer good lead times that they actually meet or exceed. And they offer the 400 MOD harder stainless steel that offers 75% - 100% better barrel life. For $200 extra, I won't walk away from that. Talk to Mark @ Bartlein. [/QUOTE]
