[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1387539, member: 4191"] With the heavier contour barrels in use on LRH rifles, the rifles will surely be less barrel heavy. The center of gravity should move back toward the action with a carbon wrapped barrel, compared to similar diameter steel. On the moderate weight rifles I backpack hunt with, a heavier contour barrel is a pain in the [I]***[/I] to carry around. Balance sucks. So if I was going to purchase a stiffer/heavier contour barrel, carbon wrapped would be an improvement - for both weight and balance. It would also lighten the checking account, and make it more difficult to balance! But we only live once. [/QUOTE]
