[QUOTE="KSB209, post: 2014619, member: 83819"] I’m building a new rifle. I’m leaning towards a bartlein carbon fiber barrel for weight. This will be a 80-20 hunting vs target build. What are the cons and disadvantages of carbon fiber barrels? I like the weight of the carbon but when I’m at the range how many rounds can I put down range before it heats up and isn’t as accurate? This is my first build with carbon barrel and from what I understand once the stock is built around a carbon barrel you cannot really go back to a steel barrel. Is the barrel life that much lower then a steel barrel? Any input on carbon vs steel would be appreciated [/QUOTE]
