[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2071156, member: 103947"] I'm putting a Bartlein CFW barrel on a new build mostly for weight reduction. I have a HV Bartlein barrel that's 25" long finished and weighs almost 7 lbs. The CFW barrel of exact dimensions(M24) is just over 3.5lbs finished. That's in my calculation, almost half the weight. This is plain and simple based on my weight scale in my shop. Shaving 3+lbs from a hunting rifle is huge. Even if I went with a light varmint contour, there would be a small weight savings. Any weigh saving is good. In hind sight, I wish I'd have went with the sendero contour rather than the M24 contour and saved another half pound. Either way, the other main reason I chose a CFW barrel is just flat out because they look super cool. That has to count for something. [/QUOTE]
