[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 3103018, member: 4191"] The "Dud" rate with CFW barrels is higher than plain steel barrels. I have one Bartlein CFW tomato stake, which they inspected and refused to replace. When you get a dud CFW, it stings close to twice as much, because that's the additional cost, compared to a SS barrel. Many will shoot. But there is a higher reject rate than with plain steel barrels. Sometimes even the CFW barrel manufacturers are unable to identify the rejects after inspecting them. Proof no longer manufactures CFW barrels exceeding 26" in length, due to a history of higher rate of poor results from CFW barrels in longer lengths. I've read Alex Wheeler post he wished the CFW craze would fade away, because he experiences more problems with CFW barrels. I don't think the craze is gonna fade away, because it's so much nicer backpacking a CFW than a heavier SS equipped rifle. Odds favor getting a good shooting CFW. But when you get a turd, it sucks twice as much. [/QUOTE]
