[QUOTE="Elk Hunter 338, post: 2834069, member: 23509"] I feel like it will run on my BAT LPR action.. but we will see.. if not I may have something else laying around . :cool: In All honesty I have never out shot a steel Bart, Hart, Kreiger, or BM with any carbon barrel... I do a TON of carbons. I own and shoot both. I also build with specifics in mind for each variable and what I want out of the rifle. so it can sway either way. To me you cant make a bad decision anymore. The carbons are lighter for sure ..is it a ton? Profile for profile ..Yes by quite a bit! You have to get a small steel barrel and flute the crap out of it to get it to weigh the same or close.. and then you need a smaller thread size and smaller brake dia (most of the time) and with the big stuff i like shooting the brakes need to work really well 5/8-24 minimum. They look cool as hell.. I mean who doesn't like a good looking carbon barrel ,, but then again who isn't a sucker for a sweet fluted barrel either! They allow for a larger profile brake, larger thread size on the muzzle which is always better and that's about it from my experience. Also would like to add that when carrying a carbon barreled rig vs a steel barrel they tend to "feel" more balanced in the hand with weight being a big part near dead center. A guy could get a spindly steel to feel the same but wouldn't do what I wanted.. When hunting where i need the rifle in my hands at all times that sure is nice. [/QUOTE]
