Carbon Six LLC is your friend ifyou are looking for a shoulder pre-fit carbon barrel.
If carbon six would just make prefits in like the top 10 calibers they would make a killing. I can't believe someone hasn't dominated this area yet. Like mass produce prefit barrels for the average joe rifle builder that doesn't want to spend thousands on a lathe.Carbon Six LLC is your friend ifyou are looking for a shoulder pre-fit carbon barrel.
I did a .750 straight fluted contour by PBB and they're a great profile. Not too heavy either! Here's the 300WSM. I did the same contour on my 308 and 7-08.Think I looked at preferred but will look again. Really want a proof if they had it in a smaller contour than sendero. I do not need a carbon barrel and a fluted medium weight steel barrel is about as light without the bulk. Carbonsix is a Mcgowen barrel so…. Leaning towards the Mcgowen since it is close to half the proof price, has good reviews, and i need to explore some new to me companies.
That is the profile I was going with, what is your weight on that barrel?I did a .750 straight fluted contour by PBB and they're a great profile. Not too heavy either! Here's the 300WSM. I did the same contour on my 308 and 7-08.

Not sure but it's around 3.2 Lbs I believe. I'm on vacation and don't have my notes with me. You can call Bryce at PBB and he can tell almost exactly what it'll weigh. The rifle in the picture is a joy to carry.That is the profile I was going with, what is your weight on that barrel?
I think with the increasing lack of availability of Remington actions that this is the way of the future. You can buy one custom action and barrel to the calibers of your choice within diameter of bolt face, .308 being most popular.I have a switch barrel on a bighorn TL3 and it's amazing.
My bad, yeah they're great. Very smooth and well made.I was referring to the Kelbly Atlas Tactical action, is it pretty smooth?
