[QUOTE="BigDon, post: 2851517, member: 107254"] I had LRI spin up a gorgeously deep fluted 7.5T Bartlein M4 contour barrel in 6.5 Sherman at 26 1/2”. Great shooter. Terminus LA, ARC MBrace rings, Swarovski Z8, TT Diamond. Still fireforming: 100 done, 100 to go. (Shoots consistently in the .3’s with the ff loads Fabulous bench gun, great Antelope truck/tripod gun. BUT Definitely Not a stalking outfit. I’m thinking about the potential balance benefit of a Bartlein Carbon to bring the balance point back towards the grip. If it wasn’t so barrel/nose heavy, I wouldn’t even mind the weight. Hmmm - decision time: sell and start over?, re-barrel in Carbon, maybe resell the fluted M4 barrel? Any other good ideas I might be missing? Seems like a textbook application for a CF barrel… [/QUOTE]
