[QUOTE="aramarine6, post: 797786, member: 24685"] What he said. A thicker heavier barrel also spreads the heat out better than a thin barrel. When shooting rapid strings of fire you will see a very noticable impact shift as the barrel heats up. Heavier barrels help negate this problem. You can shoot long range and have great accuracy with a sporter type barrel but the results will not be consistant. [/QUOTE]
