[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1198359, member: 30902"] If you like steel it's hard to beat the #5 "bull magnum sporter contour, or #16 light palma. At 28" fluted it will finish out at about .75" at the muzzle weighing about 4.5lbs, It will give you enough weight to help with steadiness and muzzle flip and enough length to take full advantage of the case capacity and slower burning powders like H-1000 without being too heavy. Personally I'm not sold on the carbon fiber barrels. The lighter the barrel is the more flip it's going to have and those polymers are going to break down at some point. I definitely would not put one on a rifle I intended to shoot a lot. I could maybe see doing it some day on a dedicated sheep rifle that wouldn't get a whole lot of shooting but that's about it.
