Titanium Longbow barrels. Too bad that they're wicked expensive. -------------

Stiffys are complete crap. Stiff? yes but the bore is horrendus, you are better off sanding down a peice of carbon fiber tubing. Some guys came in to my local store, and special ordered some. they came in the day after they tried out the barrels and wanted to return them.
Barrels, I think the're overated personally, but you can't go wrong with either a :lapco bigshot, jj ceramic, or armson stealth. all good barrels, all for a good price. happy hunting. |

I dont see how a few kg difference will make a noticable difference. Especially on a heavy gun. -------------

Well when you play speedball and you re posted one someone ( meaning sitting there waiting for them to come out of their bunker) you start to notice even the slightest bit of weight. Especially if you are playing in a tournament where you play many games throughout the course of a day. -------------
