[QUOTE="marchboom, post: 2193653, member: 10562"] One of the shooters at our range uses a 9" desk fan that sits next to the rifle and blows air along the outside of the barrel (parallel with the barrel). The barrel never heats up to the point where one would have to stop shooting...not even close. It doesn't take much barrel heat to produce mirage that affects the air in front of the scope. The air flow from the fan removes this mirage. I tried his method and it works great. It's a two 'fer. Barrel heat removal and mirage removal. This method [B]prevents[/B] the barrel from heating up. This is the fan I use. $31. At full charge it runs for over 8 hrs. amazon.com/gp/product/B0749M96XT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 [/QUOTE]
