Reply With Quoteheavy sporter unless your doing zero to minimal walking
Im trying to decide between a 30" heavy sporter or varmint barrel anyone have any idea of weights?
heavy sporter unless your doing zero to minimal walking
Might also want to look at a Palma taper barrel. You can get the length and are still light enough you can balance the gun without to much trouble. I am running a 6.5mm and a 30 cal in the medium Palma and they are right around 5 lbs.

SHL what barrels are you running(brand or smith)?
Krieger barrels.
What caliber are you planning on?
"As long as there's lead in the air....there's still hope.."
I have a CBI in light varmint in 26" and its a little long for my taste but it shoots so well as is im very hesitant in cutting it down to 20-22" . So i might have to either buy another or risk it......but that old line always comes up.......if it aint broke, dont fix it. But the weight i very nice compared to full varmint taper which did make my rifle very nose heavy.
Jim explained the light varmint is a hair bigger than heavy sporter. I opted for the heavier because he had it in stock and i like the extra mass to soak up heat on longer strings before POI is affected.

I need a few,lol.
When i posted i was thinking for 30" 300 rum to replace the factory 26" tube on my 116.
Im also going to order a 28" 222 rem, and i have a new f class 6.5-284 barrel new brass bullets and dies but i know i can lug around a 30 extra heavy hunting so that my be the 3rd, my own group buy,lol.
I cant find what Jim has in stock... Am I missing anything here. He used to have a thread that he kept with his in stock stuff.
im not after anything jim would have in stock. id really like to get cut rifled barrels done either by the factory or a br related smith.
I'd like to know too.Originally Posted by 3DHUSKER
