Let's go for a ride. With all the tuners out there weather on the threaded end or a Sims type you can slide. How about a carbon fiber tube over the barrel filled with hydraulic fluid. aluminum adapters on the barrel with o rings or glued to dampen barrel harmonics.
Just for fun.
When with simple load development you can get a gun to shoot 5 shot groups below .100"

I'm not sure you would not be venturing into the realm of
"Point of diminished returns"
when it comes to cost vs return on investment to ....over-engineer a rifle barrel
---
In other words,
Yes we can do it, yes we can engineer it, yes we can dampen it
Many of our ideas are great in theory and are very innovative as well....
...we can even put an electronic device on it that monitors vibrations and cancels them out but
now the question is =
how much are you willing to pay for a barrel?
---
it's kind of like drag racing
we can make you go 8 seconds in the 1/4 for $100,000
but to go down to 7.90, will cost another $100,000
---
Most of us are happy to simply go 8 seconds and forget the additional 0.1 for the cost needed to do so
---
I mean hey, we can even build you a space shuttle if ya want, so
How much money ya got?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The whole goal and intention is to =
Hit your intended target right?
What if instead of making the perfect barrel , we focus on the goal
and instead, go the route of programmable smart bullets and cut to the chase
