    Proof Carbon vs Steel barrels

    While it's true that the thermal conductivity of CF is variable, it does not mean that carbon fiber barrels can be made to shed heat as fast as steel. (it's also worth noting that "steel" is not isotropic either - alloying formulations affect thermal conductivity). Insulation or conduction is a...

    Proof Carbon vs Steel barrels

    Quite the opposite. The intensity of mirage is directly related to the temperature difference between the air and the barrel, other things being equal (it's worth noting that the color of the material is usually not equal and has a big effect on thermal radiation, but that's beside the point)...

    CCM Tikka for sale

    If I was in the market for a rifle, this would be sold already. If any are skeptical of the 7mm-08, stop reading gun blogs and buy this rifle. If you hunt at less than 500 yds, the 7mm-08 will do the job on elk and anything smaller without skipping a beat.

    Statistics for differentiating between groups?

    Not even a little. The goal is to have enough confidence in where the bullet will land so I can know whether or not to pull the trigger when I've got my reticle on an animal. If your goal is to put as many bullets as possible through the same hole on paper, awesome. Shooting is fun, and...

    Thanks p_ham. When it comes time to actually spend any money on this idea, I'll reach out directly.

    lol I love how this has already devolved to arguing about the merits of ultralight rifles.

    Statistics for differentiating between groups?

    All the variables you’ve mentioned are simply the sources of variance, and in no way do they invalidate the statistical methods being discussed here. In point of fact, they are precisely the reason that we need inferential statistics. If we were somehow able to perfectly control all the...

    But seriously I agree 100%. It's still fun to have nice toys though!

    I'm already a fitness god and you can't prove otherwise 😅

    That’s a sweet looking rifle.

    Guidance on choosing a new barrel or new rifle

    It's currently in a fully-bedded Accustock, and yes I've shot other rifles better.

    Guidance on choosing a new barrel or new rifle

    Yes. I'm not looking for ten shots through the same hole; I'm just getting tired of 2 MOA groups. For most of my hunting, it doesn't matter, but I'd like to eventually stretch out to the 500-ish yard territory.

    Guidance on choosing a new barrel or new rifle

    A custom rifle with a proof research barrel and an MDT Hnt26 folding stock chassis? You'd be hard-pressed to buy the barrel and chassis alone for $2.5k, so with factory blueprinted action and ready to shoot, $3k is about right. More importantly, this was simply mentioned as a price reference...

    Guidance on choosing a new barrel or new rifle

    Hey folks! I've never been quite satisfied with the accuracy of my Savage 16 LWH with the factory 20" 1:9.5 7mm-08 barrel, and have been looking at new barrel options. As much as I'd love to drop $1000+ on a premium tube, it's hard to stomach that in light of all the great guns that can be...
