[QUOTE="waveslayer, post: 1322236, member: 46202"] It all depends on what steel barrel you are comparing to a carbon barrel. You can get a Sendero contour for a carbon barrel and get a pencil steel barrel, the steel will weigh less. As for heat dispersion... carbon barrels heat up and cool faster. I use a Proof barrel, recently Bryan Litz and his buddy tested barrels. Heavy steel bull barrels still performed the best, at a cost of weight. The very performing barrel overall was the Christensen Arms barrel, very light! Less POI shift when heated, weighted down for stiffness, etc. Go Chistensen Arms! It will save you a ton of weight. I was sad to see the poor performance from Proof [/QUOTE]
