[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 1034917, member: 65338"] When considering that the price of Proof Research barrel blank is about $1000, then add in the cost of chambering/fitting and what not, I personally don't think it's worth it at all. Your best bet for performance is focusing your attention on proper load development and selecting a good well renowned gunsmith. I've seen #2 contour barrels produce accuracy of 1/3 MOA with 3 shots when built by a good smith and careful load development. Not saying that a good carbon barrel can't produce the same accuracy, but is it worth a pound of less weight and all the extra money to possibly only get equal accuracy? That's for you to decide...
