[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 2078023, member: 25831"] I think cartridge has alot to do with this as well. I think the “heavier” the rifle the more forgiving it is with regards to shooter induced errors. It just doesn’t move as much. A good match sporter barrel shoots as good as a heavier one does. May need to shoot slower as mentioned, but that goes for the carbon barrels as well. I have had sporter, sendero, magnum tapers on a non magnum cartridge, and a few carbon fibers. FWIW, I have a Bartlein 3b fluted and I think it is the perfect balance of weight/rigidity for a carry rifle weight. [/QUOTE]
