[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2352080, member: 61747"] A lot of excellent answers: Bigger diameter for cans and breaks without the increase in weight Stiff for weight, can make tuning easier. Eye appeal. I like the look but I like fluted barrels too. I’ve got several carbons and for testing I’ve run strings of 10 and got the barrel very hot. I’ve not noticed walking like I see with lighter contour barrels. Shooting strings of 5 I never see walking. If the rifle is capable of stacking 3, it’ll stack 5. I’ve stacked much more than that but it’s kind of pointless for a hunter. To me it’s worth it but the benefit is arguable unless you shoot suppressed. The advantage is a thicker barrel for threading without increasing weight. [/QUOTE]
