[QUOTE="tahoe1305, post: 2663906, member: 112408"] Working same project with a 7mm 20” barrel. My findings are you can get a flutted benchmark #3 contour big enough for 9/16 threads under 2lbs. Lightest CF barrel I’ve found is from carbon6 featherweight (.75” at muzzle) will thread 5/8 but weight will be closer to 36-38oz (6oz heavier). Guessing if you beefed up to have a thicker muzzle on the steel weight would be close but probably a tad heavier. I see the best benefit of CF being a lot of prefit choices and all can be threaded 5/8. [/QUOTE]
