Carbon Wrapped Barrels vs. Steel
I've been thinking about replacing the barrel on my Ruger M77 7mm Rem. Mag. I really like the carbon barrels, but I have heard that they don't perform as well as advertised. Has anyone had any experience with them. I think Christensen and ABS are the only companies with them. Or I was thinking about putting a medium/heavy steel barrel and fluting it to save a little weight. The gun is mainly used for deer hunting.
Thanks

RE: Carbon Wrapped Barrels vs. Steel
Christensen is the only people I have seen people deal with. I myself have not had a barrel turned down and wrapped. But I know people that have and I was impressed. I was very sceptical at first about the heat transfer, but seein was believin. If you got a fine gun that shoots well but heavy, has good throat good rifling, I believe they will turn it down and wrap it. Same as the old gun but took off some lbs.
