[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2670722, member: 68875"] With a 7mm bore: A Bartlein #1 Win Featherweight @ 22" is about 2#. Add a couple Oz to compare to a 24" in all the others below. A Bartlein #2b fluted is about 3lbs 2oz @ 24". No flutes is 3lbs 9oz @ 24" A Bartlein #3 fluted is about 3lbs 7oz @ 24". No flutes is about 3lbs 12oz. A Bartelin #4CF is about 2lbs 12oz @ 24" A Bartlein #13CF is about 3lbs @ 24" A Proof Sendero Light CF is about 2lbs 14oz @ 24" A Proof Sendero CF is about 3lbs 1oz @ 24". Some people comment that a CF barrel is too expensive. If you are building a complete custom rifle, does it really put that much of a damper on your budget? Steel barrel $350-400 Fluted steel barrel $450-500 Carbon Fiber $650-800. What about stiffness vs weight? Carbon fiber is much stiffer pound for pound than a steel barrel. Stiffer barrels usually equate to more forgiving in a shot string as well as during load work up. Ever try shooting 3-5 in a row with a small contoured steel barrel? [/QUOTE]
