[QUOTE="Tomahawkhunter54, post: 343796, member: 21131"] I have the bull barrel thumbhole model in stainless and have a friend that has the light barreled model. the accuracy difference is significant. Mine will shoot between 3/4 and 1/2 inch at 100 and his probably shoots around 1.5 or so. The bull barrel doesn't just help it stay cool longer, it improves barrel harmonics which in turn tighten groups. As far as heat buildup with the 17hmr, it shouldn't be a problem. I've shot 50 rounds without letting the barrel cool and the barrel was only warm to the touch. [/QUOTE]
