Yeah that made my Decision to go with a Proof 5- 6 ozs lighter. I know I heard they had some problems awhile ago I did some digging because I live close and they supposably got it straightened out.I do know Proof makes a little lighter barrel than Bartlein when compared identical contour/length barrels
Great info. Great accuracy alsoI can only speak for what I have - a 26" Proof Research carbon fiber 300 PRC barrel. I'd buy another Proof without hesitation. Why? 0.30MOA in this hunting rifle. I also get .36MOA from a Bartlein SS gain twist barrel in my 7mm mag hunting rifle.
That 300 PRC is in my list of future builds.I can only speak for what I have - a 26" Proof Research carbon fiber 300 PRC barrel. I'd buy another Proof without hesitation. Why? 0.30MOA in this hunting rifle. I also get .36MOA from a Bartlein SS gain twist barrel in my 7mm mag hunting rifle.
