[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 797661, member: 12995"] Heavy barrels have multiple advantages... 1) they are heavier, so you don't get as much muzzle jump, and the heft helps to add stability on your hold. 2) the heavy barrels are more rigid in strength and flexibility than a sporter weight barrel, which will allow for less harmonic vibrations as the bullet is traveling down the barrel. With less barrel flex and vibration, the bullet will be more consistant in it's POI (Point Of Impact). [/QUOTE]
