Saw the ad in a gun rag and looked it up.

I've toyed with the idea of machining a barrel sleeve over the years for straight-barreled rifles, like the Mini-14, as a means to increase barrel thickness for both heat dissipation and rigidity.........
I can see where this would improve over a sporter contour barrel, but at these prices, wouldn't a new barrel be better? Heck, for a couple hundred more, you can buy a whole rifle with the varmint barrel......but I guess it depends on the rifle brand and subsequent price...... For example: a $2000 Weatherby might benefit, whereas you could buy a complete Savage rifle for the price of the sleeve.

I watched the video, and it explained a lot about sleeved barrels and the graphite barrels I have seen in the aftermarket.  Can't say as I disagree with his selling points, but like Peg said - I can buy a new Savage with utility optics and sling for the cost of their system.  And, with an out of the box Savage and utility optics I have far better tool than shooter 

I would like to hear from some long range shooters and bench rest guys about how this fits in their games.
