Christensen CF blank reviews/thoughts

[jfswanson12]

I'm somewhat considering a Christensen CF barrel blank for a 300wsm build. Honestly the only reason I'm considering it is I can get them for like 500 bucks and fast. I've heard good things from people I respect but at times I wonder if things can be a little skewed do to "relationships". This won't be my first custom or CF barrel. I currently have 4 proof CF's, 3 benchmark CF's , 1 Bart cf, and plenty of ss from the top guys. I want to build a short and lighter mid range (800 max) 300 wsm for the 180-200 class ish bullets. Probably the 185 juggs. I could order any barrel obviously but the only in stock short cf barrels are Christensen and a Bart #4 bull sporter. My reason for kinda wanting one in stock is I have 4 barrels, action's, etc packaged up to send off to my smith and it would be cheaper and easier to add this build in now.

I only have one, but it shoots very good. @Broz has had several and says he likes them over on Long Range only. I would think you'd be good to go.

Fierce is also selling their barrels. Might check with them. I know they are one of the lightest on the market.
