[QUOTE="trebark, post: 412264, member: 19172"] Yes, heavier barrels are generally more accurate than lighter ones and especially when you will be doing a lot of continuous shooting like a rifle match. Also, the heavier the barrel, the less felt recoil. If you went with a 26" or 28" barrel that tapers directly from 1.25" to .820" at the muzzle would be pretty good. Talk with your gunsmith about this. He may have a preference. Generally speaking, no company stands above another. They all seem to do quality work and have plenty of satisfied customers to back up their claims. For my recent build I went with Brux becuase they could deliver in 3 weeks where most others were quoting months for delivery. This is the taper I suggested above. The taper begins immediately at the action and continues smoothly all the way to the muzzle. Burris Signature Rings have plastic inserts and they generally will not leave marks on your scope.
