[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2370914, member: 52585"] I'd go with the number 3 brux un-fluted or a sendero light proof if carbon is desired. I've had a couple of CF barrels and currently have one. Here's my opinion on them and some info gained from my smith. They shoot equally well as compared to a steel barrel of equal weight. So a sendero profle proof which is close to a light Palma contour will shoot similar to that #4 non-fluted brux. They're typically a little more sensitive to loading with a more narrow node. They heat up like any other barrel but you don't feel it the same as CF is a poor conductor of heat. The breach and muzzle act like hear sinks which is where the heat energy will flow to. Additionally, fluting gains nothing in accuracy and little in weight reduction. I'd that's the goal get the thinner barrel. Having said that I have similar to a 4 brux with micro flutes as I like the look. This rifle loaded with bipod weighs just under 10 pounds and I had no issue carrying it for miles on my NM elk hunt. IMO, a quality pack which holds your rifle securely along with good back and shoulder conditioning will compensate for an extra pound or two of rifle. [/QUOTE]
