    What can happen if they are knocked? Does it "bruise" the wrap and start a flat spot that unweaves?
    Do they have a rep for lower round counts to erode throats

    Might be safer than standing in front of it

    I can't remember who done mine, but it was done in NZ.

    Best barrel I have had for accuracy on my blaser.
    Made a noticeable difference in weight especially when combined with one of stugs stocks. Only thing I didn't like about the R93 was the weight.

    I know a lot of guys give Hardy crap, but my barrel is a tack driver.

    I didn’t pay much more than a standard tikka for it.

    nice rife and scope setup i don't no why everybody is so upset about the whole carbon thing how many people are driving around in new utes with 20" or bigger black rims that cost 2g or more and make your ute run like a bag of shit . think id rather have a carbon barrel thanks
