[QUOTE="dgarrett, post: 1587310, member: 58686"] The few ounces you save doing a Carbon Fiber Barrel really is no weight savings... With semi light sendero type barrels you still end up scoped with rifles that weigh 9-10lbs... The true light weight rifles as stated above ...are typically sub 7lb guns are made with pencil barrels, 1 lb stocks, titanium actions and 12 oz scopes...Shootabilty of these rifles may well have been way down the list with weight savings being the most important... The nicest thing I have found with the Carbon Barrels is the way they balance compared to the same rifle with a Sendero sized Steel barrel [/QUOTE]
