[QUOTE="Truk505, post: 1575920, member: 41252"] Being that I own a couple I’d have to disagree. Keeping a steady aim while shooting freehand, despite the common misconception about heavy rifles being more steady, is more about proper balance. With older rifles you would throw a pencil barrel in a wood stock and call it done. Modern lightweight rifles focus more on balance, using carbon fiber in the stock, and now with carbon barrels have been able to lighten the weight while keeping a little weight forward for stability. All the carbon fiber barrels I have had are equipped with muzzle breaks, taming the effects of recoil. I’m predicting carbon fiber barrels will have a huge share of the market within the next decade along with carbon fiber stocks. [/QUOTE]
