[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1244371, member: 2736"] Yes !!!! A heavy barrel always helps to steady the rifle and minimize movement. I prefer a short (20 to 22") heavy barrel for running shots and when standing (Offhand) is the norm. I also like a heavy barrel when hunting Elk in the mountains because I am always/normally a little out of breath and need the weight to steady me down for quick shots. Unlike most, my Elk rifle weighs 13 pounds and has been a huge benefit. I also like the weight of the butt stock of laminated stocks for balance using heavy barrels. The closer the balance center is to the shooter the better it will be for running or off hand shots. I consider balance point to be perfect for me if it is between the front action screw and the center of the mag well. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
