[QUOTE="Marble, post: 935824, member: 51354"] My rifles fade with heat too. I actually started bringing a small electric fan with me to the range to put air on the gun between rounds. I found a way to get the barrel pointed directly at the fan and with the bolt removed, it is completely cool in 5 minutes or so in 80 degree weather. I have a Ruger 10/22 that I built 12 years ago. Everything is Volquartsen except for the bolt assembly and receiver. The carbon fiber wrapped barrel never gets hot, accuracy drops after10-15 shots. I can shoot .25-.30 groups at 50 yards with quality ammo on a clean barrel. At about 15 rounds, the group open up to .4 or so, then .5. Just a quick brush through the barrel and powder solvent and it back to tight groups. [/QUOTE]
