Are carbon wrapped barrels really worth the extra $$ ?

[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 1639369, member: 37460"] Lighter, supposedly stiffer resulting in less barrel whip, cool quicker but not sure if that would apply to a fluted barrel or not. I have both. I must say my proof research barreled rig is the most accurate rifle in my safe. I also have a rock creek barrel that is very accurate. For one to truly test this everything would need to be equal and then a barrel swap done. I think you’d be splitting hairs when all is said and done. However, if you were building a pack rifle where weight is the key, then a carbon wrapped barrel is going to be more accurate as you can get a heavier profile and longer barrel and still stay within your weight requirements.
