[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1526214, member: 78762"] You really have to make a decision. Are you going to play around with long range, or are you going to get serious. If your going to get serious, get a longe range specific rifle. Either factory or build one. If you’re going to play around, then buy something cheap. I’ve tried it with sporter barreled cheap rifles, and yes I made hits, but it was few and far between. A fast twist heavy barrel is used for several reasons. And it’s not just barrel heat, it’s also harmonics, and how a whipy barrel especially a factory barrel will show signs of it down range on target. The harmonics are more violent and you’ll see vertical and some horizontal dispersion that can’t be explained. [/QUOTE]
