    Default I have a question for all of you

    Has anyone here gotten a carbon fiber barrel for your rifle other than a 10-22?
    I'm thinkink about putting one on my Ruger M-77 which will be chambered in 6.5 Grendel. I'm also looking at one on my AR.

    i didn't even know they made them. assuming a quality liner, i guess the strength to weight would be unbeatable.

    If you do a google search for "carbon fiber rifle barrels" , you will find a bunch of info. I am just trying to find some actual hands on opinions.
    Both of my 10-22s have the Volquartsen carbon fiber barrels, and i love them. But I have no experience with centerfire carbon fiber barrels and am looking for some insight.

    Ditto and co-sign on this, but I just gotta trust a steel barrel, that stuff is great but as a barrel I'm kinda skeptic.
    There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.

    Me too. Never shot but did handled them before. Generally the forward weight of the rifle (aka "balance") is too feathery for my taste. I do hear good things about them though. Great heat dissipation would be an advantage for me. They also make for a much more bulky barrel. For many they do have their advantages. I'm unjustifiably a little leary of a barrel that is not 100% steel. Call it a "Phobia", I guess. Best.
