[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1180903, member: 91090"] I will tell you what they will say. I have talked to bartlien and kraiger and shilen. Barrel contour has little to do with accuracy unless you are talking about multiple shots. That said you don't see many light sportster barrels at a benchrest match. Heating up takes a while with an 1.25" barrel. A heavy gun is much easier to get on target and keep it there. the decision is how much weight you want to pack. If you are going to drive your truck to a tree stand and sit up there all day then weight is really not a factor. If you are going to backpack into the rockies at 10,000 feet you will feel every oz. personally a rifle around 8# with the scope is plenty light. With my edge stock and #3 barrel it is just barrel heavy enough for me to get a rock solid hold. [/QUOTE]
