Thanks for the responses.
Mtmuley- I have never owned a carbon wrapped barrel. I have not heard of many drawbacks other than cost. Although cost is one of the deciding factors, I would like input regarding why you think it is needless.
Thank you for your input.
I am looking for a new lightweight custom rifle and looking at the carbon barreled Fierce Edge in 300 RUM. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with one. Everything I have read seems good.
