[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 2071846, member: 93895"] I'm not necessarily arguing for or against CF wrapped barrels. I can see what they offer. What I don't understand is when someone has a carbon fiber barrel but didn't go with a light weight stock when there were lighter alternatives and then they mount an optic to it that weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 to 40 ounces. Which ends up making that rifle heavier on the rear end. If lighter is the goal, then I'm not going to trade off barrel weight so I can go with a heavier stock and optic. Now saying all of that, I do see where a cf barrel would be beneficial running a supressor. But if I'm going for an ultimate light weight, long mountain country hiking rifle , I would be trying to find a way not to incorporate a supresor into that build. [/QUOTE]
