[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1575836, member: 10291"] Not having extensive experience with the carbo wrapped barrels, I think they surely fill the needs for someone looking to reduce weight, with the inherent stiffness/accuracy of a steel barrel given the equivalent quality of interior machining/finish. IMO, the lighter barrel weight still presents the same challenge as a light steel barrel for the shooter to control the rifles stability and movement prior to the bullet exiting the barrel. There is less “forgiveness”, placing higher demands on the shooter for high precision work....ie. stringing at longer ranges. While many will opt for the lighter weight, given harsh long range hunting conditions with varied positions, or intensive time/position intensive competive sports like PRS, many shooters will weigh the trade-off of weight vs shooting stability.when considering accuracy requirements.
