[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 2833748, member: 116563"] The barrel on that recent build is a Med Palma Contour. It’s a 1.250 X 3” shank. And then it tapers and finishes at .850” at 26” I believe. I just think the ONLY benefit carbon has is lighter weight, for a vision of a larger profile. They don’t have any accuracy benefit whatsoever. They do have a thin liner, depending on who makes them. And I think the groups walk much more easily as they warm up compared to a steel barrel. It’s stated, and supposedly documented, that they cool faster and disperse heat throughout the barrel. But it doesn’t matter when they don’t hold groups for longer shot strings anyways. Not that that is a big deal for hunting. I’m just saying it lol If there was a benefit to them, they would be being used in all the precision shooting disciplines IMO. These are just my opinions after shooting a few carbon barrels and a few steel barrels. I’m by no means an expert hahaha. [/QUOTE]
