[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 621584, member: 10291"] I'm not so sure of whether it's conclusive or not but my heavier barrel rifles are generally more accurate with cold bore shots then my lighter weight barrels. I say it's not conclusive because I do have a couple of sporter weight barreled rifles that will send a cold bore shot to the same spot with excellent accuracy equal to my heavy barreled rifles. I don't think I would add the weight for that reason only, especially if the added weight was a hindrance to the rifle's specific purpose. My primary hunting rifles fall in the middle of the barrel weight range, #6 size barrel approx, with end diameters of .73-.75. The total weight runs about 10-10.5#. It's a compromise that serves both my carry and precision long range shooting needs. I like this weight primarily because it provides a stable shooting platform for the long shots, and at the same time doesn't make me feel like I'm carrying a crowbar around with me. These barrels will deliver cold bore performance that is consistent with my best groups shot consecutively with a warm bore. [/QUOTE]
