[QUOTE="CA48, post: 1343789, member: 21446"] Worth it for weight savings alone I would say no, you can always get a lighter contour steel barrel. I like my carbon barrel because it is aesthetically pleasing, much more so than a traditional pencil contour barrel. You can't really justify paying double the price for weight savings alone in my head. But if you have the extra $ to spend on your build get want you want and have no regrets. Accuracy and bbl life will be as good as any other custom bbl manufacturer. One advantage I would say over a traditional hunting contour bbl would be while doing load work or at the range practicing the carbon barrel won't open up groups as bad when it starts to heat up. Another is with the reduced barrel weight up front it allows hunting rifles with light weight stocks to balance better. [/QUOTE]
