Do they sell any carbon fiber wrapped barrels?

I don,t mean to go off thread here but while we are talking about barrels do any of you have experience with K+P barrels?

 

[FullCurl8]

Yes they do. I haven't shot one though.

 

[Pdvdh]

Yes they do. I haven't shot one though.

I couldn't find any info on carbon fiber wrapped barrels on their website. Maybe someone else does the carbon fire wrapping?

 

[FullCurl8]

They have a proprietary way of doing it, and I am not sure why they don't have them listed on their website, but they do on their FB page. https://m.facebook.com/pg/benchmarkbarrels/posts/
Hope thats ok to post?

Thanks for that link. I'll research further...

I got word from benchmark a couple weeks ago they are now back to making CF wrapped barrels - we'll have one here in 3-4 months.

Maybe we should all have a look at the Benchmark Facebook page and see what their barrels have accomplished. They have been used in many shooting sports (predominately PRS/NRL) with much success. I have personally shot out a number for their barrels (both button and cut) and have been extremely happy with them. Additionally, if you call Benchmark you will encounter some of the friendliest and most knowledgable people in the industry. Their barrels are top shelf!!!

Thanks Flintlock

Do you have any preferance for the cut or buttoned?

 

[FullCurl8]

Im a cut guy. No evidence that button isn't fine, i just like the idea of less stressing the material by cutting.

Had one put on my 7-300 Win Mag and it didnt shoot for crap...Put a Bartlein on it and instantly went to 3/8 with the first load tried. I wont ever buy another Benchmark . Bartlein are the only barrels I'll buy anymore. Bartlein and Kreiger dominate the LR game by far.

Anyone have experience with Benchmark?

Yes have had a few of them and they all shoot very well.

Benchmark offers cut rifle barrels now

David Emerson I would trust either one. I have had great accuracy with both. I know both their button and cut barrels can shoot far better than I can.
