[QUOTE="Left Hand Dave, post: 2688351, member: 94260"] I considered the carbon barrels but they are very pricey. I haven’t had any issues with the weight of my other XPs with the Sendero/Varmint contour so I have decided on that for my build. I figure no matter what I use for a barrel I’m not going to save anymore than probably two pounds at the most. I can buy Almost two SS barrels for the price of a carbon so I get more toys in the long run. There are good solid ways to carry an SP that make the weight difference between carbon/SS and different contours no big deal. Might take an extra 1/2 minute or minute to get it ready by it’s not like I’m going to jump shoot something with an SP anyway. ChrisRhodes did get me thinking about doing a lighter build in the future in a different cartridge. I do have an MOA I would like to get rebarreled or maybe an XP. Think Chris has been taking enabling training from Ernie😁 I would like to thank everyone for the input it helped me think it through and if anyyhas additional input that’s great. It may help someone else that reads this thread in the future or me on the next build. [/QUOTE]
