[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1910814, member: 93895"] I'm sure they are not for everyone. Most of my serious long range rifles are heavy. Mine with a proof is a 26" 7mm rem mag. Final weight of bare rifle with muzzle brake was 6lb 11oz. What I don't understand is folks who put on a proof or any other CF barrel and then slap a 2.5- 3lb scope on, then go with a stock that's heavier than what's available. And some of them putting an extended mag on the rifle. Then it's a scoped rifle that can weight 10- 12 lbs. What was accomplished with the CF barrel? It will end up light on the barrel end and heavy on the butt end. That's a feel that I don't particularly care for. [/QUOTE]
