    Carbon fiber prefit barrels


    Anybody making carbon fiber prefit barrels? Considering one for a 6.5x55 hunter build.
    I swore I'd never want one, but I'm thinking a long light weight barrel would be nice.
    Thought, reviews?

    Thanks,
    Michael

    Proof Research makes carbon fiber barrels for Savage rifles.......not sure about cartridge types available though.

    For what they cost, couldn't you just buy a heavy SS barrel and then use the savings to hire a young boy from Kenya to act as a gun bearer?

    I can get you a deal on Proof Research Carbon Fiber Prefits. I got one, loved it, and asked the guy if I could help sell them. I can make a Christmas Savage Shooters special. PM me. They are the best. Check out their video of the guy smashing a cinderblock and then shooting a group.

    This is me literally right now... My 7mm rem mag with sendero profile Proof.

    Love my barrel. Here are two shots at a rock yesterday to confirm drop data. And, also my three shot group at 100 cause I had to pull my scope.

    I am getting a new one in some 6mm flavor very soon. AMAZING hunting barrels. Saves weight so I can run a heavier scope for long range.

    Doesn't look like they have 6.5x55 but they do have 6.5 Creedmore.
