[QUOTE="Coldfinger, post: 2140006, member: 113278"] Well it’s a personal preference I’d say! They look cool but are expensive. I think a stainless barrel would hold up to abuse (unforeseen incidents) better. I don’t shoot to get barrels hot so can’t help you there. They are definitely just as accurate. I have a 7 mm wsm and a 6 creedmoor. Both are as accurate as me but probably far more accurate than I can shoot. Both shoot ragged holes. I don’t know how new the technology is as carbon weave has been in aeronautical applications a long time and I think Christenson had carbon barrels out at least 20 years ago. To sum it all up I’d just say it’s totally up to you on aesthetics! Me personally I’ll take a cool looking spiral or wrought iron fluted stainless barrel which again is just for looks to me! Hope this helps just my unbiased opinion! [/QUOTE]
