[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 387129, member: 11717"] That was a funny one Aldon, you'll have to remember putting your Holiday Inn Express stay on your resume :) I agree that once the barrels warm up to the same temp it would take longer for the heavy barrel to cool off... but... if you fired them at the same rate, let's say a shot every 2 minutes, wouldn't the lighter barrel heat up quicker? if so, then it would need to rest sooner. So which rifle could handle a higher sustained rate of fire without overheating? Could the varmint barrel be shot 15 times per hour (once every 4 min) vs the sporter barrels 10 times per hour (once every 6 min) or vice versa? To keep it apples to apples and simple, let's assume both barrels are not flutted. Thanks, Mark [/QUOTE]
