[QUOTE="JTH, post: 2670960, member: 59647"] I’ve found very good accuracy in 4 out of 4 carbon fiber barrels so far (1/2 moa or better on every one, with load development). The main reason I tried a CF barrel is that using a suppressor makes your rifle muzzle heavy. When carrying a suppressed rifle with a steel barrel on a sling the rifle is always wanting to roll over muzzle end down. Going to a lighter weight carbon fiber barrel helps to counteract that and better balance the rifle. I don’t see myself going away from suppressed rifles and will likely stick with carbon fiber barrels as a result. If I wasn’t shooting suppressed I might actually prefer the extra weight of the steel to help stabilize the rifle. [/QUOTE]
