Jason, your pics of the groups you shot prove exactly what I said..

But whatever man, its all good most of y’all have far more cash to burn than me, but I can garantee you from the proof barrel I had, I will buy 2 krieger, barts, or brux’s from now on.

I can say with 200000% certainty that carbon wrap barrels is a ponzi scheme.

A #3 stainless barrel is lighter by a few ounces than a Sendero CF barrel is at the same length. A #2 contour is your common sporter contour on most factory hunting rifles, so a #3 is a little bigger. A #3 makes for a great hunting rifle barrel contour. I'm not a fan of the CF barrels due to the majority of them throwing shots once they heat up. For 3 times the cost of a stainless barrel, it's not worth the risk. But if you plan on making it a 2-3 shot hunting barrel, they can work for that. Yes, there are some carbon fiber barrels that I was shocked at how good they shot, and were very consistent. But a majority of the CF barrels do not fall into that category. From a precision shooting and consistency stand point, they are not worth the risk for me.
