Now that I have decided to go the dark side..
I am going to buy an R8 pro success, but they have a few barrel choices available..
Standard weight, Mid weight and Heavy match barrels with the extra fluting also offered
As these guns are very accurate out of the box is it worth upgrading the barrel from standard? will I see extra accuracy from the investment..
I am a fan of a fluted barrel more for looks than anything else..
I will most lightly go for a .243 rifle first, for some varminting, foxes, muntjac & roe then thinking 6.5x55 barrel for larger UK deer(not a big fan of recoil Swed is pleasant to shoot)
then at a later date pick up a 3006 or 7mm? barrel for boar etc for that odd occasion... then I will be covered for everything
So please give me your thoughts
Cheers Tikka595
