[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1134529, member: 5302"] I don't think any one barrel contour is any more accurate than another. As long as they're properly stress relieved after rifling then fit to a squared up receiver face, long, skinny ones will shoot just as accurate as short, stiff ones. For several dozen shots fired once every 10 to 20 seconds. They all walked shots to some amount in original factory condition as the barrel heated up. I've had five Win 70 receivers's face squared up with the barrel tenon axis then fitted with a match barrel or shimmed .005" or so then the original factory barrel replaced. They all never walked shot impact as the barrel heated up. Others have noticed the same thing with other makes. [/QUOTE]
