What's the word with the accuracy with this model? I'm comparing this to the Weatherby Vanguard line up and getting mixed opinions. The lack of free floating on the Vanguard is worrisome. I've read barrel heating/accuracy issues with the regular Hells Canyon, but not the Long Range.

I have one in 300 RUM I'm setting up for this season but haven't fired yet. Following along for other's feedback.
I have the Hell's Canyon, McMillan in 6.5prc. Great shooter, 1 hole with factory 143eldx. I bought it because of the 1:7 twist, I want to reload the 156EOL's. Still can't find any yet. It does heat up a little quicker than expected. No issues with time in between 3 shot strings. I bought it for hunting anyway. I did get the lighter trigger spring as I could not adjust mine past 4#. It is now around 2.25#. More than the OP asked for, just trying to help.
