Barrel Weight, Action and Bedding Stress

Many shooters request very heavy barrel contours in the hope of achieving "easy" accuracy. Whilst this may work out ok in most applications, some actions cannot handle the severe stresses of high-weight barrels. Typical examples are Mauser 96 and 98 and to some degree Winchester model 70, Ruger model 77 and other brands which feature relatively short barrel shanks and substantial ejector ports and magazine wells. We suggest that you limit these actions to a maximum of a medium varmint weight barrel for satisfactory results, or be prepared for early admission to a psychiatric institution. Barrels do not have to be monsters to deliver fine accuracy; light to medium weight barrels can be tack-drivers if you are prepared to spend some time testing various factory loads or preferably tuning a handload to the unique vibration pattern of your barrel. In the case of factory-made rifles, you will probably find greater accuracy gains are achieved from an action "accurise" and professional bedding job than from simply screwing in a heavier barrel. And bear in mind that even though modern rifle scopes are better than ever, they remain a major cause of seemingly inexplicable accuracy problems.

Famous brands are not exempt!
