Hello. Im looking to get a .204 and am stuck between a Model 25 thumbhole and a 12FV. The 25 is IMHO BEAUTIFUL and I like the idea of a removable box magazine, which is why Im leaning towards the 25. My only concern is barrel heat. IS the 12fv's barrel a thicker bull barrel?

The local shop has a 25 on hand that I can inspect but no 12FV's around. Thanks guys!
