[QUOTE="WeiserBucks, post: 1355149, member: 97492"] I read a review some time ago by a well respected gunsmith. He took 2 barrels, one C.F., and one SS and clamped the breech end in a vice and hung weights on the muzzle end , measuring deflection with a dial indicator. The SS barrel deflected less than the C.F. , but I don't recall the amount. After that he installed both barrels and chambered them alike. Using the same ammo , both produced sub 1/2 MOA accuracy. What I retained from the article was that the SS was notably stiffer, but the C.F. lighter with both producing great accuracy. I'm no expert, just passing along what I remember reading. [/QUOTE]
