Thread: Looking for Carbon Barrel Experience

I am considering using one for a re-barrel and after some experience from anyone who has used one.
Rifle will be a magnum, something I can use for hunting and can still shoot some casual long range targets with.
How do they handle heat? Any experience with different brands?
Cheers

Proof Research are good.

I've had about 4 Hardy carbon wrapped saves weight once you get out in length.
Can't say they shoot any better than a SS barrel cost more and you are stuck to they length that you fit ie can't be shortened later.
But they look cool.

Can't say they shoot any better than a bull barrel or a sporter weight? What kind of accuracy are you getting out of the Hardy barrels?

They all shot under an inch and sometimes 1/2 inch but so does my factory Sako
