    Yea I've got three and the two I've done load work on seem very good.
    They are about 24mm stright taper so not as light as light weight fluted barrel but I'm sure they are lighter than a steel barrel of the same Dia.
    I've got 2 in .260AI and one in .260AI.

    I don't know the weight of the Hardy carbon ones but the Proof Research Carbon Sendero light one I had was lighter than a Shilen #3 the same calibre & length I have.

    I read that unless you go with quite a thick barrel there isnt a huge weight savings. For example not much of a saving on a lite sporter barrel compaired to say 338

    So looking at that they seem to shoot alright, do you have any comments comparing them to other barrels (shilen etc) or can't really see a difference?

    I've read the same, carbon is not a huge advantage over normal from what I can see
