[QUOTE="TV308, post: 2663904, member: 124396"] I’m far from an expert but have several CF barrels and have had stainless/fluted barrels. I prefer short/stiff barrels for use with my suppressors and the CF fits the bill for that and has a significant weight reduction. (The longer /heavier the barrel the more weight reduction comparatively). Not all CF barrels are the same. I have found that Bartline CF barrels are heavier than Proof of same length. Was told by my smith that it is due to the contour under the CF…he said Bart is tapereded while proof is “step down.” If not using a suppressor it would be a toss up for me…..but I’m never shooting without a suppressor lol. Cannot speak to cooling but should be a non issue in a hunting rifle. My2c [/QUOTE]
