[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1977156, member: 10291"] I could be wrong, but think the CF rifle/barrel market is definitely here to stay but will be a smaller segment of the hunting market space, and less so in the precision, competitive segments where barrels are replaced on a frequent basis, and heavier barrels are preferred.. My buddy just purchased a custom Gunwerks rifle with a CF barrel. For his needs of wanting a light weight rifle for mountain and general hunting it’s very accurate, and suites his needs very well. His shots will very rarely exceed 400-500 yards, and he likely not to put more then 20-30 rounds/year through it. He is exceptionally happy with this rifle and will likely be using it for 10+ years. I personally found it to be too light and feeling unbalanced for my style of long range, carry hunting. I will very likely stick with 10-11 pound steel barreled rifles......I’m that “old dog” that’s slow to change🙄. [/QUOTE]
