[QUOTE="tooth doc, post: 1979718, member: 52018"] I have, and shoot a couple of cf barrels. Like tbem, but personally doubt that they will replace steel. After all is said and done tge cf is wrapped with a resin material that has got to be affected by heat. To what extent, and how fast it will cause the resin to degrade i dont know. Maybe the barrel will be shot out before that happens. I cant believe that the 10 shot strings we shoot in lr comp arent hard on these resins. I dont have definitive answers, just a few thoughts. On a hunting rifle, with many fewr rounds down range they should never be a problem and if you like the lighter weight, go for it! [/QUOTE]
