That does look legit.Well if exact barrel length, throating and twist rate don’t matter, a Proof would work. Hopefully what you want would be a factory option from them. It wasn’t for me when I was first building my new gun, originally in 6.5. Then do a search on how many of us have switched from Carbon to Steel barrels and the reasons why. If you like the looks of Carbon, tell me this steel barrel doesn’t look badass
Zero kills with the 6 CM yet. I switched after the last hunt of the season in ‘23.

I know all the reasons why guys switch from carbon. The twist rates/barrel lengths are usually good enough for me. But I like thick barrels and the damascus-like look of the proof barrels. Are they more expensive? sure. Do they shoot better? no. Is this rational? also, no.
but now i might have to get a heavy palma barrel from PVA to add to the collection.
