[QUOTE="StanleyActual, post: 2352746, member: 119220"] I have a few Carbons. 6.5CM, 6.5PRC, 7RM in Proofs and a Bartlien CF being chambered in a 308 for me now. Bartliens are a tad heavier than Proof because they leave more metal on the barrel than Proof does before wrapping. I’ve heard Proofs have a tendency to “walk” when they get hot because of this. I haven’t experienced that yet but then I dont shoot long strings of fire with my CF Barrels. Personally, Rem Varmint / Sendero contour is the smallest contour I use so with that being said, a Carbon barrel in the same contour / length is going To weight less than a SS. If you want to go lighter than a RV than yes, You could Probably find a lighter SS. I just don’t go that light on my Contours. [/QUOTE]
