[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1343876, member: 4191"] Opinions both ways. I don't own one. Researched the topic in the past before purchasing my last two barrels for backpacking rifles. Finally decided against carbon due to expense. Maybe shoulda, coulda, woulda... Remember Kirby Allen was thumbs down on carbon barrels due to added costs. He felt the weight gains were marginal compared to a lighter contour non-carbon barrel. He builds a lot of rifles. Dunno if his advice remains the same today. The guy laying out cash must decide for himself. I do believe load development for the stiffer barrels is less finicky. [/QUOTE]
