[QUOTE="TennJed, post: 2292733, member: 57687"] Barrell temp definitely affects POI based on temp and barrel thickness. Anyone that has a lever gun should be able to attest to this, due to the thin barrels, they heat up very quickly and when I first started playing with lever guns I went nuts, thinking my scope was messed up till I realized I put way to many rounds through it too quickly. At the other extreme, very heavy barrels should take longer to be affected. But as others have stated the rule of thumb should be when the barrel starts to get hot to the touch let it cool. [/QUOTE]
