[QUOTE="30 Caliber Mag Fan, post: 57911, member: 2166"] Friends- I just came off of a five day hunting trip in deep South Texas in the some of the best White Tailed Deer Country in the world and I took my custom Model 70 Stainless in .300 Ultra Mag. It has a fluted Krieger #6 barrel. It is a tack driver. Here’s the problem, it weighs a ton. Great for shooting off of the bench but, for quick target acquisition in the field; the rifle leaves something to be desired. Spending hours upon hours upon a tripod glassing and thinking about a solution to my dilemma I thought of Christensen as I has seen several articles about their carbon fiber process. I am giving serious consideration to having my barrel re-done in carbon fiber (i.e. turned down and carbon fiber wrapped). Please give me your thoughts. In terms of weight reduction, what do you think I can achieve? What do you think of their process and the quality of their barrels? Does Christensen have competitors and, if so, who are they. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
