I got one.










It's a nice rifle but I'm afraid I won't be using it.

I have a "frozenfibre" barrel, its a benchmark liner turned down and wrapped. It doesnt have the same look as most of the barrels since its spool wound. I got Terry and black art rifles true up a rem ti action and chamber/fit the barrel, 260ai throated to run a bit longer oal.

It shoots a bit better than half moa with the lrab or 140vld's. Seems to shoot the same hot or cold, to the touch it feels as though the carbon is warmer than the steel when the barrel is hot.

Jerry at mystic precision in B.C. brings in carbon six barrels, I have one on order but haven't received it yet so no firsthand experience, but that may be a suitable option for a build.

I think he has a link on his site to an interesting buildup, a "remage" which is a rem 700 action with a barrel that has a barrel nut like a savage, dropped into the new magpul 700 stock.

Buddy has a Christensen with a carbon pipe in 300WM. It’s a nice rig. He also has a Proof in 6.5 Creedmore AI on a Stiller that I really like. Very nice barrel.

Jealous of both your rigs shown Kurt. Need the current .280 to sell before I upgrade.
