[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2819045, member: 123604"] Weight is the only gain with carbon barrels. I tried my silencer on a B14r with a carbon barrel and couldn't get it to shoot well even after lot testing. I've heard the same from other people as well. They use a tension carbon barrel, so a standard carbon barrel might be better. Without anything added to the muzzle they shoot just like the steel barrels. Of the rifles you listed I'd save up for a B14r or go with the 457. Both are excellent rifles with great aftermarket support. The BMR and T1x are good rifles, but don't have the aftermarket options you have with the others. The RPRR can be hit or miss. Some shoot great, some take a lot of effort to get decent results from. Regardless of what you go with lot testing ammo is a necessity to get the beat results. I shoot CenterX in my Vudoo. Depending on the lot I can get .7-1.5 MOA 10 shot groups. [/QUOTE]
