I've never really figured out the rationale behind some of these systems for most shooters.
I spoke with Teludyne a while back about their system, I was interested in getting a lightweight, 20" Savage 7-08 barrel done. I wanted to just send in the barrel- thinking it could be done much cheaper, saving the gunsmithing and stock modifications they include in their pricing. They wouldn't do it, but we talked about their system and he explained to me that the objective was to take a customer's lightweight factory barrel, and sleeve it, removing the issue of shot-stringing when a light barrel heats up.
Nonetheless, I don't quite follow the logic.
A "lightweight", factory contour barrel can be every bit as accurate as a heavy barrel for a few shots until the barrel heats up. So, I cannot see any advantage to a hunter...
A target shooter, typically doesn't care about the weight of a bull or varmint contour barrel, because they're not toting the rifle up a mountain.
While I can why this might be useful to a select few for special applications, I'm must be missing, something....
