WATCH: 1000 rounds through a carbon fiber barrel

How much punishment can cutting-edge rifle materials take? We ran 1000 rounds through a carbon fiber barrel and titanium action to see the effect. Does the barrel withstand extreme temperatures? How will the titanium react? We did our test and cut the barrel in half to examine. Watch the video to see what we found.

THE GEAR

Check out the gear we highlighted in the video.

MDT TIMBR FRONTIER chassis system

mdt comp brake

mdt double-pull lighweight ckye-pod

mdt lightweight premier scope rings

more from mdt

watch: MDT FIELD STOCK

Get more accuracy out of your factory rifle by upgrading with the Field Stock. Improve accuracy with the aluminum v-block bedding and a free-floating barrel. The adjustable buttstock allows you to be more comfortable for long-range shots.

watch: how to start hunting long range

Accurately hitting animals at 600 yards+ could be vital if you don’t want a trophy buck walking away. Pro shooter Jon Pynch talks about how to get started, what tools you need, building DOPE cards and essential factors to consider when long-range hunting.

watch: HOW ACCURATE ARE ELITE SHOOTERS?

With the skills to pay the bills, pro shooters and their rifles are incredibly accurate. We chose 3 of the top PRS shooters and ran through multiple positions and did an accuracy check on paper.
