[QUOTE="jhendri2, post: 3662, member: 217"] If you are asking if it is possible for a lightweight barrel to be as accurate as a heavy, the answer is yes. But, it is easier to make a heavier barrel accurate, due to the less vibrations, due to stifness of the barrel. You can shoot more without the barrel "walking" due to heat. I have seen some VERY accurate sporter weight guns. It also depends on your "standard" for accuracy. A .25" group can definately be had with a sporter gun, but a .125" group would be FAR more difficult to obtain. So again, it just depends on your definition. This has only been my experience, so take it FWIW. Jim [/QUOTE]
