[QUOTE="Joefrazell, post: 2697277, member: 101262"] The difference in cost on a 18” steel vs carbon is too much to justify imo. Go with a 18” steel and go with like a 5 or 3b contour is my recommendation. It’ll have a bit of meat to it but still be light. You gotta think. On a 18” carbon you’re only getting like 12-14” of carbon. Not worth it unless you just have to have a carbon barrel for esthetics. They will look better with a can hanging off of them imo. I’ve got a bartlein carbon m24 and it’s heavier than my 3b contour bartlein and they’re both 24” by about 3 oz or so. It’s a fat barrel. Quite a bit thicker than a proof sendero and quite a bit heavier also. [/QUOTE]
