[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2015833, member: 103947"] Just my opinion so here goes. You state 80/20 Hunting 80%/Target 20%. Barrel life shouldn't concern you. Weight, CF wrapped wins hands down ( contour to contour). Price is the only downside in your case IMO. I'm doing exactly the same as you. Building a first CWF barreled rifle. I'm going with Bartlein also. About the same ratio hunting/target. Price for me is not much of an issue since I'm building it. If I were buying a custom built rifle, maybe. I built a 33 Nosler for a buddy using the M24 Bartlein CF barrel. 700.00 plus 140.00 chambering from my gunsmith. Stock was 400.00. Factory Remington 700 action 385.00. Trigger tech trigger 150.00. For under 1800.00, having a carbon barrel on a custom rifle is a steal. I'm going the same route only a different cartridge. Pretty sure the carbon option is one you'd like. [/QUOTE]
