Discover the future of rifle performance with the TIKKA T3X PRE-FIT CARBON FIBER 7 PRC RIFLE BARRELS.
The TIKKA T3X PRE-FIT CARBON FIBER 7 PRC RIFLE BARRELS from PROOF RESEARCH redefines what you can expect from your firearm. Carbon fiber technology is revolutionising the shooting experience by offering a combination of strength and lightweight design.
Unmatched Benefits
Carbon fiber has long been hailed across many industries—aerospace, cycling, alternative energy—as a wonder material making everything lighter and stronger. When employed in a rifle barrel, the benefits extend beyond reducing weight and increasing strength.
Advanced Manufacturing Process
Proof's patented manufacturing process begins with full-profile, match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel blanks made in their firearms division. These blanks are then turned down to a significantly reduced profile, greatly reducing weight.
High-Strength Carbon Fiber
This reduced contour barrel is wrapped with high-strength, aerospace-grade carbon fiber impregnated with a proprietary matrix resin developed by our advanced composites division, PROOF Research ACD. The carbon fibers used have a unique ability to diffuse heat along the length of the barrel (much like fiber optics transmit light).
Enhanced Heat Management
-
Carbon fiber moves heat very effectively through the wall (thickness) of the barrel.
-
This results in barrels that cool faster and maintain accuracy over longer sessions of fire.
-
Enjoy a longer lifespan for your barrel under the most demanding environments.
The End Result
The end result is an aerospace-grade, high-fiber content composite barrel that is stronger, lighter, as accurate as the finest precision steel barrel, and durable to perform in the most demanding environments. They’re not just lighter—they’re better.
