[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1343814, member: 7999"] I thought it was ridiculous to spend that kind of money on a barrel. Then I did load development and ammo for a customers Proof rifle. Very nice. Then we built a 300 Norma imp, for a customer, on a Proof barrel. Very nice. Have another for a customer in process now in 338 Lap imp with a Proof barrel. I expect that it will be very nice as well. What I really like about the barrel is the way that it balances in a light weight stock. They seem to not get as hot. Not sure if the heat is dissipated or insulated. Either way they will shoot a string better than a like weight steel barrel. That is my experience. So after poo pooing them before I had first hand experience, I had to sheepishly admit that I would really like to have one of my own. Steve [/QUOTE]
