Can someone recommend a decent carbon barrel? I like the idea of the heavier contours but the weight savings of carbon. Are they worth the cost versus weight savings? Looking to build a light weight deer rifle.
Thanks Ronnie.

I have 2 proof sendero barrels. One on a 300 WM and the other is a 6.5CM. I am very happy with both. Saved me about 2.5 pounds in weight for the same contour in stainless. Both are shooting right around 1/2 MOA with factory hornady ammo.

I have two Christensen Arms carbon barrels. One 6.5cm and the other 6.5prc. No complaints at all. You will see a complaint once in awhile about one of their barrels not shooting. I love the fat barrel look and less weight. Proof barrels would probably be # 1 if you asked around. I haven't seen any complaints about their barrels.

I have been thinking about that one or a 6.5saum

I have been thinking about that one or a 6.5saum Really liking the prc so far. Recoil is nothing. Shooting Hornady factory 143 eldx right now averaging 2950fps. Some guys are pushing it over 3000 without much problem. Ammo has been easy to find but waiting on my dies to get here so I can handload for it.
