[QUOTE="teesquare, post: 2016584, member: 56740"] I own a Tikka T3X in .300 WM rifle Sherm....IIRC, I think the Proof CF barrel , with muzzle break was 2 oz. heavier than the factory pencil thin barrel... And, there are only 2 benefits to the CF barrel that I have tried to assuage my conscience with spending close to $1000 for barrel and machining/gunsmithing: 1. It looks nice, if you like that look😊...... 2. And - when practicing at the range- I can shoot more rounds before I see any "stringing" of rounds. It did not open up the groups beyond what I think would still be acceptable for hunting - but it did enlarge the groups for sure. I look back at this purchase...and shrug. Would I do it again? Only if I thought that I could not have 2 rifles.... One for strictly shooting at the range, and one dedicated lightweight hunter. This rifle was an attempt to create 1 rifle - great at both. light enough to carry long distances - but still able to shoot a 1/2 day at the range- with reasonably quick rate of fire for a bolt gun. Did it work?....I think so, but this is my gun for Elk ( tho - due to my faith in it...I am going to take it on a hog hunt a some point...) T [/QUOTE]
