I was hoping someone could help me out here. I have a Rem 700 bdl in 300 Win Mag. It currently has a 26" fluted factory sporter barrel on it. I don't know how much the barrel weighs.
Bartlein's standard sporter weighs 2.8 lbs. Is this similar to what I have currently?
Currently my gun weighs 8.75 lbs with HS Precision stock and scope.
The barrel heats up too quickly and I have to wait 15 minutes or longer to get it to cool down between groups while sighting in. RL22 really heats the barrel up quickly.
I'm looking at a Bartlein # 3 Heavy Sporter barrel at 3.50 lbs and the #3B Lt Bull sporter at 4.0 lbs.
Is this weight before being chamber and threaded? How much weight will these barrels add to my gun?
I'd like to keep the weight down as much as possible. Any ideas?
