afternoon, as stated in the title I'd like to get into some precision shooting but definatly on a budget.
Couple questions and opinions are awesome.
How imporant is the heavy barrel I've been seeing on all of the advertised precision/tactical/varmiting rifles? In an perfect world I'd like to get into a rifle that would be good for both hunting and taking to a long range for some precision work. Wondering what kinds of differences I'd notice say for example with an r700 sps with a normal, long light barrel as opposed to the shorter heavy barrel?
Also some sites with some ready material and information would be great. Been flipping through here and found snipercentral.com.
thanks.
