The Case For Carbon Fiber Barrels

Page 1

The Case For Carbon Fiber Barrels Most experienced hunters and shooters have their preferences for the rifles or shotguns they prefer to shoot with, especially when it comes to, for example, brands. The newer or less experienced shooters may still be looking at the options that will suit them best, and with good information and advice they are given the chance to look at those they prefer for their specific profile, and they look at the companies that offer them the best rifles for their purposes. For example, the hunter or shooter that needs the best rifle for, say, long-range shooting will certainly want to consider those rifles that are recommended for this discipline. One such name that comes to mind for many is the PROOF Research rifle that is offered for their great qualities such as, for example, outstanding ability and features in terms of accuracy for the long-distance shooter.

Of course, there are others, but this is a name that is mentioned more often than not, and then very often for those rifles that are fitted with a carbon fiber barrel. Hunters and shooters that favor the carbon fiber barrel do so because of their experience and the advantages they feel this type of barrel offers them as opposed to others, such as those made of steel, for example. Those that use this type of barrel often find it offers the qualities and features they have not been able to find with others, for example, a great weight reduction. This, for many, is a really important requirement, and not only for women or younger shooters but also for the seasoned shooter that finds the lighter weight helps them with improved accuracy, for instance. Others mention that this type of barrel may offer less vibration and warping than others, as well as the fact that it does not rust. Also, many feel that it will last longer because it cools better than the steel barrel, for example. When one looks at some of the mentioned issues, certain facts come to light. For example, the carbon fiber variety will indeed weigh up to a third less than the steel barrel variety, and some claims point to figures of extending barrel life of up to 25%. When it comes to improved accuracy, which is a real issue for the long-distance


shooter, those that use this type of barrel often, maintain that they record better accuracy indeed, very often because of the reduced weight. Certain manufacturers such as PROOF Research have put many years of research into their products, and specifically barrels. Therefore they offer a patented, many will say, superior product to meet the demands of shooters, often long-range hunters and shooters. Leading brand names such as PROOF Research are very aware of their profile and will, therefore, make sure that the companies that distribute their products understand their exact profile, also the barrels that the rifles are offered with, one of which is their carbon fiber option. They will, therefore, allow only a top distributor or supplier to act on their behalf and market these superior products which have been fine-tuned over time. The buyer that wants to buy a rifle with the best carbon fiber barrel will, therefore, be looking at a company known for being allowed to sell these. Some of them have discerned themselves from others and are so-called Preferred Dealers that offer their buyers the PROOF Research rifles with the best carbon fiber barrels. Also, these are offered by leading distributors to allow customers a choice in terms of, for example, the type of barrels they prefer, such as the AR15 or AR10 options, for example. Of course, every customer should have an idea before they buy a rifle, and before they settle on the choice of the barrel. But, with a bit of research and talking to experienced hunters and shooters that favor the carbon fiber barrel, they should be able to form a good idea of the options. Very often it is a great idea to approach a supplier known for the rifles they offer for long-range shooting, if that is your discipline, and collect some information about the best examples of carbon fiber barrels they offer.
