Lothar Walther Ultralight barrel information

[JWEM]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and was hoping that someone could help me with some information regarding Lothar Walther Ultralight (aluminium sleeve) barrels.

 

I'm looking to have my .308 re-barrelled and chambered in 7mm-08. As it is used for practical rifle type shooting it needs to be handy enough to shoot standing, sitting and kneeling but also consistent enough to hold a MOA or under at 1000 yards with a high round count in a fairly short space of time (22 rounds in about 5min).

 

So does anyone know:

 

1. Are they any good?

2. Which rifle smiths have experience with the ultralight barrels?

3. Would this barrel be suitable for the intended application?

4. What kind of weight would a 24 inch barrel be?

 

Any help would be much appreciated.
