Are carbon wrapped barrels really worth the extra $$ ?

[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1639406, member: 101859"] In my opinion the only practical reason to use a carbon barrel is if you prefer a larger stock like a Mcmillan A5 or A3 but you want it to be light. The carbon barrel will fit those stocks and shave off a lot of weight compared to a steel barrel. But it will not be lighter than a #3 in a sporter stock. Both platforms will shoot equally well. Make no mistake, proof makes very good barrels. I have chambered their steel barrels for Br rifles and they hold their own with other top cut barrels. [/QUOTE]
