Carbon vs fluted stainless

[FEENIX]

Fluted Sendero steel will be at close to a pound heavier than a Carbon Sendero.

If you want light something in a fluted 2b may be what you are looking for.

I own 4 CFW barrels. They stay so cold I store two of them in a large cooler I haul around when camping, hunting, and fishing.

No need to buy ice for meat. Just throw in a couple of rifles in the cooler. lol.

Clearly not a Sendero profile . That thing looks like a baseball bat.

OP. The difference I have felt is with the longer profile barrels. 20" not so much. It is also not as accurate as my other longer barrels. Not sure carbon is what I would go with for a dedicated sheep rifle, but for the same profile and "they claim rigidity" you get. All with a trade off. If wanting to add the can, mine put the weight back on it as if it was a steel barrel in the 20". More mirage with higher strings so definitely not what I want for zombies...hunting, yes.

Who has built a 300 RUM with a number 2 or less, 9 pound rifle? How does it shoot? Mine has the C6 barrel at 27" and does well with 215/245s.

You need all the cool you can get in Kakalaki heat. I'm in Virginia and am in the same boat...it's all about the cool

I had a 300 weatherby with a number #2, first shot was great 2md shot about an inch off 3rd shot was 3-4" out. If you have 20ish minutes between shots it was a sub moa gun. It weighted right at 9 lbs weatherby mark v 9 lug 26" barrel. It wasn't a gun that you wanted to spend the day at the range with lol.

No, but the weight difference with the same barrel contour from the same barrel manufacturer is significant.

With your samiches?

I can buy two steel barrels for the cost of one carbon barrel…

The % of hummer steel barrels I've chambered is much better then the % of hummer carbon barrels.

I personally use unfluted steel barrels for my builds. But I like to see them shooting 1/4moa groups from the bench with the cold bore shot being in the group.

Hahaha... I'll store my ammo in their also. Those CFW barrels keep everything COOLer. Even my ammo

Isn't it all about Oakley's, beards, and of course carbon barrels....

I don't have any Oakley's, maybe I should get some?
