CarbonSix barrels?

[bobhunts]

Does anyone have any time with one of these?

I bought one for a build a few months ago. The guys were great to deal with, wait wasn’t too long either. Best part is the gun shoots awesome I haven’t finished load development but this group was from my initial range trip.

I've only been around two of Christensen's Carbons. Both were adapted to Model 70 Winchesters, a 300 Win Mag and a 7mm Rem Mag.

1) Both guns shot sub MOA angles where before they were terrible (hence the barrel changes)
2) Shaved gun weight noticably
3) Ugly (but I used to think synthetic stocks were ugly, too, and I got over it)

I have one on a custom 338 rcm. The barrel took around 10 months to get, after being told it would be a three month lead time. Then they made the barrel to the wrong dimensions. It shoots great, though.

I kicked the idea of one around quite a bit trying to save a few bucks. In the end I just spent the $ and got a proof brand.

I have a proof but ordered a carbon six to see if proof is really worth the extra $$.

The .204 and .243 with cabonsix barrels. Both shoot well.

I have one in 7 Rem mag for my Tikka. It shoots Barnes 160’s .5 moa all day.

@Goatie @EcoastDG did you guys get the chambered barrels and spin them on yourself or have a gunsmith do it? Is it just as straight forward as spinning on the barrel?

At one time carbonsix would chamber barrels and mount them on an action. I think they stopped doing it when they got more popular, but that’s who I used.

This is correct
For my first I sent them the action and they installed
With their newfound workload they'll still chamber and thread but dont do installs.

What sort of groups are you getting? “Shoots well” is subjective. Lol.

Are those factory loads? You think sub .5moa possible with well a well developed load?

sub moa. I’m mostly using them for shooting prairie dogs.
