[QUOTE="StanleyActual, post: 2646020, member: 119220"] You won’t go wrong with Bartlien or Proof. Bartlien leaves a little bit more metal on the barrel before wrapping which is why it’s slightly heavier and also makes it a bit stiffer. Some people see that ad an advantage. -Length has nothing to do with accuracy. Only Velocity. -Barrel Contour makes for a stiffer barrel and takes a bit longer to heat up before accuracy starts to shift. Photo below top is a 22” Bartlien CF Sendero lite in 308 Bottom is a 16.5” Proof CF Sendero in 6.5CM. This action also gets a 22” Proof Sendero in a 6.5PRC [ATTACH type="full" alt="860ECD23-207C-435A-9988-E2022C4F3646.jpeg"]404075[/ATTACH] Both come in at about 8lbs as they sit in that photo (Bighorn Origin SA, Hawkins Precision BDL, Mesa Precision Altutude stocks. I also have (2) 24” proofs in 7RM and another 22” in 6.5PRC.those are all in a the Sendero (M24) contour. I’m a big fan of Bartlien and if their CF barrels were as available as the Proofs, that’s probably the route I would have gone. Not saying anything at all is wrong with Proof. Just my barrel preference. [/QUOTE]
