[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1289970, member: 7999"] I think there has been some huge advancements in technology in the last few years. From what I understand the process of wrapping has entirely changed. Also from what I understand the old barrels were turned down for the carbon and are now purposely built for the process. Getting rid of some of the old consistency problems that once existed. I don't think they shoot better than a non wrapped custom barrel. But as stated before they balance differently in the rifle. The ones that I have used do not seem to heat up nearly as fast as a non wrapped barrel. I also think there is something to the stiffness for weight. They are definitely for a purpose built rifle. As I stated before, I truly scoffed at the carbon barrel due to the price. Why would anybody spend that kind of money. Till I used some. Steve [/QUOTE]
