Am about to embark on buying a new/used rifle and have found one I like (have not been to see as it is 3 hrs away) it has a heavy fluted barrel, i want this as an all round rifle, some high seat work, some lamping, some woodland stalking and some hill stalking. I am not averse to caring a little extra weight as I have two rifles that are normal and i never even think about weight (not sure how much weight a heavy barrel adds?) really want to know does anyone use one? and does the extra weight make any difference to them?
