I bought an APR TBH special in 2019. The barrel is the Muller Sendero 24" with ratchet fluting. When I picked it up, it felt so muzzle heavy and I immediately regretted not getting the carbon option. It shoots so good and is a great blind rifle but I would love to take it hunting and be able to carry it all day. For less the price of a new rifle, I can have APR swap it out to carbon.
Questions.
1) How much weight would I save with a carbon barrel?
2) What are the choices for a carbon barrel that I need to consider? Profile, length?
3) I do want to put a silencer on it at some point so I'm thinking about getting a 22" barrel. I realize I will lose some speed but is there anything else I should take into consideration?
4) Or do I buy a 20-22" 6.5 Creedmoor/7mm-08 in a lightweight rifle and keep the APR rifle for use when I don't have to carry it?
5) My current barrel is cerakoted. Do you do this to carbon barrels? Seems like you shouldn't.
Thanks!
