[QUOTE="Rick Richard, post: 1033831, member: 75895"] I have a carbon fiber wrapped barrel and I see no significant advantage in accuracy over a steel barrel. The weight savings which is not that much in my opinion does not justify the additional cost. I also don't believe heat is absorbed or disipated any better by the carbon fiber as some folks may believe. Just because you can't feel the heat on the outside (carbon fiber) as much that does not mean the inner lining of thin steel is also at the same temp. To be honest, I like my rig but would not do a carbon barrel again. [/QUOTE]
