[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 798530, member: 39764"] +1 with this caveat.... The heavier the barrel, the more the firearm weighs and the heavier the firearm the less convient it is to carry on a pack in hunt. With me, it's more about a compromise of packability versus harmonics dampened by mass. I'm not Charles Atlas so every ounce counts. I own some big barreled cannons (read tanks). Not carrying them anywhere to remote. I'll take a light barreled sporter anyday and the resultant increase in harmonics if necessary. Out of the truck and on the mat, anything goes, weight notwithstanding.... [/QUOTE]
