The Christensen Arms .308 Win carbon fiber barrel (brand part no. 810-00031-11) is a 16-inch Target-contour replacement barrel for Remington 700 actions, built on a 416R stainless liner wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon fiber. Christensen Arms button rifles the liner and holds bore tolerance to two ten-thousandths of an inch, then applies its layered carbon wrap to add rigidity and pull heat away from the bore for consistent harmonics shot after shot. The Target contour tapers gradually, starting at 1.20 inches and finishing at .920 inch at the muzzle, which keeps the barrel stiff for long-range work while the carbon keeps the weight near two to three pounds. The muzzle is threaded and ships with a thread protector, so a suppressor or brake goes straight on. For a short, suppressed .308 build on a 700 footprint, this barrel gives a rigid contour without the weight penalty of steel.
