[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 2078857, member: 88320"] There is some truth to the heavy stiffer are more accurate. Lighter barrels can be just as accurate. The heavier are just plain easier to shoot accurate thus giving the impression that they are that much better. To me its shoot-ability is the biggest difference. For a hunting rifle I think that 3B contour is a happy medium. I would recommend staying with a barrel that is .670-.700 at muzzle. That gives a good compromise with weight and barrel thickness.
