[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1355593, member: 26535"] Carbon fiber will be stiffer than steal of the same weight. What that does for us is allows us to run a lighter barrel that will be equally as stiff as steal. This should translate to the same accuracy over many shots with less weight. There are claims that the carbon/resin make up of the barrels aids in dissipating heat which will help keep the chamber cooler. I have started using them this year and I do not see my self going back. I have much lighter rifles and still get the accuracy of a heavier contoured steal barrel. Realistically if you factor in the cost of a good steal fluted barrel a Christensen barrel is not a lot more. [/QUOTE]
