[QUOTE="milo-2, post: 2861519, member: 33622"] This right here ^^^, the weight or contour of the barrel should have no effect on the accuracy of a barrel. It's how you go about getting it, and most of the time it involves not heating the barrel up while shooting it. People shoot heavy barrels for a reason, higher numbers of accurate shots before things get a little twisted. Most of us don't have the patience to spread our shots out over time to ensure that heat is distributed evenly throughout the process. Add in that by taking 1 shot every 5 minutes is a major disruption to your shooting pattern. You shoot 2 touching that 3rd one is getting fired, and that shot may be the disconnect. I am going to contradict myself here, but I used to go into gun stores to buy Rem 700 classics, yet walk out with another Win model 70 featherweight, and they all shot like crap. Anyway, I had one, a 26-06, which probably shot 1" at 100 for the first 3 shots, but the next 3 were going to be tight. I was not a LR hunter, so none of it mattered. If a guy pays attention to what really happens, these pencil barrels most likely shoot better than expected. [/QUOTE]
