[QUOTE="Shooter264, post: 2356725, member: 23746"] They all make good bbls, I have several of all 3. Proof are the absolute lightest but they are hit and miss for speed. Some are fast and some are dog slow. I’ve only ever had one proof that didn’t shoot and they took care of me, no questions asked. Both Benchmark and Bartlein are slightly heavier and both have 5R rifling. I prefer that over a 4 groove personally. If I was trying to build the absolute lightest gun, proof would be my choice no doubt. If I could live with another 4-5 ounces on my gun, I’d take a hard look at the other 2. Carbon 6 is another one that has shot very well for me. Not to try and confuse the situation more but thought I’d throw it out there. My sheep rifle wears a proof, my elk rifle wears a Benchmark, my Mexico Coues rifle wears a Bartlein 😂 [/QUOTE]
