Great chambering. Not too long ago I saw GrabAgun had that exact model and chambering on sale.

What is the sale price? $1500.00

$1799 I think. I talked to a guy who has some experience with them and he said they’re iffy on accuracy. Says Christensen guarantees their accuracy but you might get one that has to go back. Not sure I want to spend $2k on that.

$1500.00 Offering is just for the 308 and 30.06

I have the 6.5 Creedmoore and it shoots 5 shot groups through the same hole.

I do love carbon barrels - just picking one up is nice - no cold barrel.  Be tough for me to buy a non-carbon barrel anymore. No 4th shot fliers from thin barrel heating up.

how many shots can you get out of a carbon fiber barrel? Very curious.

They start with a standard light profile quality steel barrel then wrap it with carbon fiber so barrel longevity is same except that carbon barrels cool quicker so longevity should go up but because you can shoot so much quicker it likely evens out or goes down.  You could use the rifle without the wrap but wouldn't gain the stiffness benefits of the carbon.
