CBI Heavy Sporter Barrel weight

[KTP]

Anyone have a weight for a Criterion heavy sporter barrel compared to the Lt. Varmint barrel?

Looks like they weight the same at 3.5#.

Thanks Mike, I've seen that but many times weights vary and I wondered if anyone had weighed their heavy sporter for actual weight

I had this same question a while back, and I pm'd some guys cause if you see one is contoured and the Light varmint is straight taper and also a bit bigger at the muzzle so they "should" not be the same. I think the heavy sporter is close to 3.5# maybe a bit heavier as the muzzle is .7.......a #4 brux is not that big at the muzzle and is 3.5# or mine is. the guys who did weight their lt varmints who responded to me they were 4# 1 oz to 4# 11oz depending on caliber. Finish length will have something to do as well. The lt varmint is the taper (or dang close) to the taper on a md 10 predator or the LRH.

good luck

I have a 24" in 6.5x285 in heavy sporter taper. Weight is 2.9lbs

equal weight to factory 26" 300win and factory 26" 300rum with factory muzzle brake

Thank you. I had hoped the heavy sporter would come in around there
