[QUOTE="Glenn Tullius, post: 2071015, member: 110556"] Here's what the Seals say..."ounces equals pounds, pounds equal pain". I am not a gunsmith, but I would just pose this question...Which weighs LESS, A 1" diameter, 24" carbon fiber barrel, or a "1 diameter stainless steel non fluted 24" barrel" if you want to compare weight with all things being equal now. Apples to apples. I can't tell you enough how much i loved carrying my CA Ridgline 24 " 6.5 prc with a 21 ounce Leupy/Talley ring/base that only weights 8.0 lbs out West last fall. I love the look of a fluted barrel more but sadly, when you get "well into your sixties" ounces do equal pain on western hunts. [/QUOTE]
