[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2014640, member: 68875"] Contour vs Contour, CF is way lighter. Weight vs weight, CF is stiffer CF is more expensive, about 1.5-2x the price of steel, depending on brand, and other features like fluting, or Bartlein's new steel. $350-650 for high quality steel, $600-750 for CF. Barrel life, totally depends on the cartridge. Flip a coin, no noticeable difference. Accuracy, pretty much the same. I think more has to do with shooter ability and overall weight. Heavier rifles are easier to shoot consistently. Barrel walk, contour vs contour, probably CF will walk a bit sooner. But weight vs weight, I would say steel will walk sooner due to stiffness.
