RE: standard or heavy barrel????
That's a nice setup you got there. That is basically what I want and I have held the gun, it just didn't have the bipod on it but I know what you mean about it feeling top heavy. The stock on it felt really lightweight and cheap so if I get the gun I plan on putting a better stock on it.
I'm not going to be doing too much hiking with it and I'll probably be doing more target shooting withit than huntingso I think that's the one I plan on getting. Thanks for all the input.
