[QUOTE="tahoe1305, post: 2972984, member: 112408"] The lightest CF barrel I have found is Carbon 6 featherweight. I have a few. Lightest is a 20” 7mm tikka @ 38oz. For reference a fluted sporter profile (superlite) is about 2.4lbs. The D18 tikka flutted profile (close to a benchmark #3/4 ~.75” muzzle) is 3lbs. Both these are 24”. If you cut them to 20” to compare apples to apples I’d guess the D18 would be close to 2.75lbs or so and the superlite is close to 2lbs. My next barrel will be steel. A bit over CF. It costs more but doesn’t weigh any less than sporter profiles. [/QUOTE]
