[QUOTE="Buster Hemlock, post: 2014632, member: 109327"] I have Proof and Hells Canyon Carbon barrels and have shot some others. They shoot great, just as good as a traditional steel barrel. I've never pushed mine through a high volume in a short time but have seen other guys do it and they do seem to open up a bit more than a traditional steel barrel when subjected to a more rigorous firing schedule. The weight savings is nice and they look great. Getting a stock does leave you in the predicament of having to either get another carbon barrel, a heavy contour steel barrel, having a gap if you go to a thinner contour steel barrel or...... you get a smaller contour barrel, mix up some epoxy that closely matches the color of your stock, bed the full barrel channel and then repaint the stock to match if the epoxy doesn't match well enough for your liking after it cures [/QUOTE]
