[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 2976509, member: 122313"] I was referring to 20-22" barrels as being "short". And you are right that a .730" muzzle is going to take a light Palma or similar contour. The first 3 bullets dont really know what contour they are being fired from anyhow. I also don't see a huge advantage in CFW barrels vs a fluted SS barrel. They might be a little lighter but not by a whole lot. Now if a CFW barrel with an .830" muzzle weighed half what a fluted SS barrel did with the same contour....... I'd buy nothing but CFW. But I think you really only get a 20-30% weight reduction for 2x the price. For some folks that's money well spent and in certain applications that 20-30% weight reduction is huge. I hunt out of a stand 80% of the time BUT I'd like to be more comfortable if I do decide to do more walking especially during the rut. If I can get this rifle in at 10# fully dressed I'd be happy.
