Gunsmithing Tikka CTR Barrel Weight?

[godofthunder]

Anyone taken off a 6.5CM Tikka CTR barrel (20 in) and weighed it?

Debating a new barrel to shave weight, but would like to know the original weight to see if it would be worth it.

I believe they're somewhere around a light palma

Youd probably have to get into the numbered contours or a proof to really shave much since you're already at 20"

I’ve got one I can throw on a scale. They don’t weigh all that much.

My 20” CTR 260 bbl I just took off weighs 3lbs 2oz

Thanks! Been wanting to get a CarbonSix barrel, but they estimate it will be 2lbs 8oz. Don't really care to pay about $100/oz for weight savings.

I found a calculator to estimate barrel weight using measurements from the barrel and it "estimated" it would be about 4lbs, which would be worth it to me if that was the case.
