[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1344091, member: 13632"] The Hardy is $1250, Carbon six is $695, Christensen is $600, Proof $792. Proof may be the only cut rifled barrel which tends to be a selling point to me and worth the money, Proof builds a LOT of barrels both steel and carbon and they shoot consistently barrel for barrel. I view barrel shopping as shopping for quality and process not price, I've gone the cheap route a few times and in the end I spend more time screwing around in the lathe because the bores are variable or the land heights are wonky or having to cut back to crown on a tight spot, the barrel is thee heart of an accurate rifle and the last place to save money!!!!
