[QUOTE="HandgunHTR, post: 3079829, member: 126524"] The carbon barrel will heat up at the same rate as a "pencil barrel". The difference is that you won't be able to feel it on the outside of a carbon wrapped barrel. Additionally, if the barrel is properly stress relieved, it won't matter a bit how hot it gets. There have been multiple tests done with various rifles and the ones with good barrels don't walk with heat. It is mirage that kills the accuracy when they get hot. Unless you are planning on using a suppressor, I would suggest sticking with a steel barrel. Get it fluted if you want to cut weight. Spend the extra money on optics and optics mounts. For me, I would go with the Weatherby 307 or the Browning X-Bolt. [/QUOTE]
