[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1047944, member: 55230"] Does anyone have a loose PR barrel they can weigh? I almost bought a magnum research barrel and they said their barrels weighed in at about 3.5lbs. Which is heavy, but not as heavy as what a barrel of the same diameter would weigh. Also I was told they were doing some high speed video footage and a steel barrel looks like a wet noodle compared to how rigid the MR barrel when fired. MR's barrels run about the same as a PR would cost w/ this discount. Couple things kept me from that barrel: the diameter of the bull barrel wouldn't fit the gamescout stock, and the actual barrel was not offered in 5r nor by the company I want, cost, and unknown performance (or lack of reputation). I agree w/ the above statement of having your chosen barrel mfg turn down a barrel to be wrapped in carbon... that would be ideal IMO, a new barrel that is, not one that I've shot up and all that other hogwash.
