[QUOTE="Mister-E, post: 1910801, member: 114425"] If you look at the weight savings of proof barrels it's not that huge, a .264 cal 26" sendero contour proof barrel weighs 3 lb 5 oz or 53 oz a Bartlein .264 cal 26" sendero contour weighs 4.65 lb or 74.4 oz that's 21.4 oz or less than 1-1/2 lb, for me more than double the price for a proof is not worth it, I have never been a fan of any carbon wrapped barrels, just don't like the look, IMO just does not look right on a rifle barrel. I'm sure they shoot great but do they shoot 2+ times better than a Bartlein or Keriger or any of the other premium barrel manufacturers, I personally don't think so, I think a lot of people just want the cool look, for me that is not worth more than double the price.
