[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 1033832, member: 65338"] If you can't pack around a rifle with at least a #3 contour at 24" for a longer range hunting rifle, it might be a good time to start thinking about hitting the gym a little bit or concentrating your efforts strictly to road hunting...Just sayin' :) Jokes aside, if serious about long range hunting, I would use a heavier 22" barrel before I ever thought of using a thin 24" pipe. Or put money into a good lightweight McMillan or Manners stock and stick with a thicker stainless barrel. I have handled the carbon barrels and discussed them at length with my gunsmith who has installed a handful of them. They really aren't all they're cracked up to be. If they were, you'd see them on a lot more of the high dollar custom rigs [/QUOTE]
