[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 2014769, member: 111184"] What I want in all my rifles is [I]reliable accuracy[/I], and for me, a Carbon Fiber barrel was a great discovery. For my first [B]hunting[/B] rifle build (+ some range shooting), I wanted a lighter rifle. After a lot of research, I decided to go with a Proof Research CF barrel and a AG Composites CF stock to reduce weight. The 8.2# gun is a 300 PRC with an SR3 action and a Fat B gen 3 muzzle brake. Following Proof’s recommended break in, I shot two 3-shot groups and two 5-shot groups at 100 yards. Each group was in the 0.4MOA range. The main pros of CF barrels are weight and stiffness. Accuracy is a big bonus. I believe it. I do have a custom Bartlein ss barrel in my unbraked Remington 700 BDL 7mm mag rifle, and it also is a sub 0.5MOA hunting rifle. My bench rifle is a 15# MPA 6.5PRC with an M24 ss barrel. This rifle exceeds its 0.3MOA guarantee and is incredibly accurate. IMO, the answers to all of your Carbon Fiber questions are positive, and my next hunting rifle build will also have a CF barrel :) [/QUOTE]
