[QUOTE="cajun, post: 2077951, member: 9772"] In general a heavier barrel will shoot better because it is stiffer. This has been my experience. They also resist bullet stringing when getting hot. This is not to say a thinner sporter barrel cant be accurate they certainly can. Generally the longer barrel length and the thinner the barrel the more iffy it gets. If your getting a custom lapped barrel from a well known company you should be fine. Also different companies have different tapers. Looking at criterion there is only about 6 ounces difference in the sporter vs heavy sporter at 24”. [/QUOTE]
