[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2806158, member: 94491"] Int Interesting-- my 16" big gunner holds about 1.5moa with most factory loads, and 3/4-1 moa with my handloads Are you sure it's your barrel that is causing the "inaccuracy" When I spoke with faxon before buying-- I was looking for "ultralight parts"- but didn't want to sacrifice accuracy--- Their pencil barrel is 1.78 pounds The big gunner is 1.91 pounds And the match/heavy fluted is 2.1 pounds The big gunner is only 2 oz more than the pencil but sounded more "stable" to me. They told me the pencil profile would heat up/string quicker (at about 3 shots), vs the big gunner at around 5-6 shots-- I wasn't intetested in the hw They say their pencil profile is fully stress relieved if that means anything to you. Have you called them and asked them about your issue? Have you checked all your other components to make sure your problem is actually the barrel? My complete rifle with optic came out at 5.8 lbs and it's plenty accurate for what I use it for. I've had good luck with ballistic advantage barrels in other calibers [/QUOTE]
