[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 379879, member: 19372"] Chryogenic treatment won't do anything for stiffness - that's controlled by section moment and Young's modulus which aren't changed by chryogenic treatment. The Chryo treatment should increase stability, i.e. the barrel will shift less due to temperature change, but that isn't usually an issue in a 1 or two shot hunting rifle. Based on what you said, wanting to keep the MV up, if it were me I'd go with a #5 taper barrel. It's a nice compromise between sporter and benchrest. I have a 7mm Rem Mag Savage BVSS coming (should be here a week from Friday) that has something approaching a #7 taper barrel on it. That's for a rifle intended for hunting from stands - it will weigh almost 12 lbs to 12.5 lbs with scope. It's heavier than you have in mind. Fitch [/QUOTE]
