[QUOTE="mountaincarver, post: 1576092, member: 87809"] yea, I think I agree. ive been spending a lot of time shooting the Christmas present. the carbon barrel on it shoots good but not awesome and I think it is due to the whole setup being light. The materials used and the skeletonized design probably play a factor too. definitely good enough accuracy for hunting long distance tho. I can see diff in groups when hugging the gun vs nothing but gun. I know this is not apples but I can say this... my wifes tikka 6.5 creedmoor with light steel barrel (about 6.5 pounds without scope) will group better than my carbon fiber barreled 6.5 prc at about 8 pounds. the tikka is hard to set in to the bag for no movement but very accurate for the steady shooter. this kind of goes against the light weight thing and makes one believe there is nothing gained from a wrapped barrel. on the other hand ive seen a carbon barrel shoot amazing groups (which made me want one), but the rifle really wasn't all that light with a mc Millan and a nightforce on top. maybe that was the difference...
