[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1134332, member: 90399"] Accuracy wise, if you reload you can do amazing things with a thin barrel. At least for the first few shots, and that's all you really need for a hunting rig. All thin barrels are not created equal for the effects of heat either. Some thin barrels will walk a bit when they get heated. Some thin barrels will walk [I]A LOT[/I] when they get heated. Most often inaccuracy due to barrel heat is not a concern for a hunting rifle. IMO, I would rather go hunting with a thin barrel... rather than a clean barrel. (Which people do all the time). [/QUOTE]
