[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1016488, member: 80699"] Okay, sounds like the advice you all are giving is about where I thought I would need to be. I am trying to get a 260 put together as my practice/training rifle. And trying to get it to match the 300/7mm I plan to buy...that's not been easy on a budget. I don't plan to hunt at 1k or anything like that, but want to train that way for fun and so that 300 or 500 yard shots in the field become a lot easier. So for the practice/training gun, would you all say that a heavy barrel is essential due to heat buildup? I am in Texas, if that gives you an idea of the conditions. My sporter barrels heat up quick, and when it's 100 outside, they don't cool very quickly either, so I assume I need to get something with a heavier contour to resist heat issues. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
