Any barrel companies have Black Friday sales?

Does x-caliber only offer tikka prefits with barrel nuts? No shouldered pre-fits?

Does it really matter other than a shouldered prefit seemingly being simpler?

Doesn’t matter at all. Slight change esthetically, installation slightly more complicated. No difference in function.

Why are people moving away from CF?
because it's more expensive and often heavier than compareable steel contours . the only real advantages are it looks cool. if you want a light steel contours threaded look at .680 or .750 taperless from PVA or PBB hybrid lite contour (McGowan can do this as a contour)

I was hoping PBB was going to have a sale but haven't seen anything yet. Might go McGowen then.

In part because of the short barrel trend. A fluted steel barrel is about the same weight when it is short. Experience shows same stiffness.

Anything 24” and longer I would still go CF for the weight/stiffness in a hunting rifle.

Anyone know where to get a Brux barrel and/or Manners stock on sale this weekend? Thanks!
