As most of us know, Sabotloader is a proponent of using 15/16" barrels in the 1" barrel channel of a Renegade's stock. (He's old and feeble, ya` know.)

I presently have two 28" 50 caliber Green Mountain LRH barrels. The 1" model made for the Renegade weighs 5 lbs. 12 oz. The 15/16" model made for the Hawken weighs 4 lbs. 13 oz. So I tried both of them in the Renegade stock.

It is amazing the difference that 15 oz. of weight makes in the feel of the gun.

I usually hunt from a box or ladder stand and seldom have more than a few hundred yard walk from the camp or my truck to the stand, so barrel weight is no big deal. If I were going to creep through the woods for a few hours I sure would go Sabotloader's route with the 15/16" barrel.
