Axis HB vs standard barrel for 243
New member here. Going to pick up an Axis 243, will do the usual mods(trigger, restock, pillar and bed, etc). Is the HB model inherently more accurate or is it pretty much still determined more by individual barrels, HB or standard(i.e. a one particular standard better than one particular HB). It will be used for varmints and target, so carrying the extra weight is not a problem. I'll probably get the HB for the few bucks more it cost($30+-) but thought Id check in here first, see if anyone has first hand experience with both. Other than a .22 I had as a kid this will be my first Savage, I can't not try one given the value and almost all good reviews.
thanks, Brian
