roosterslayer Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I agree, I shoot the sporter barrel in a 223 and love the fact that it weighs next to nothing when walking through deep snow to my stands. but if you dont have far to travel then maybe the bull barrel is for you. I honestly dont think you need it for yote hunting. its not like sitting praire dog towns in ND burning tons of rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 If you go dog hunting you should have more than one rifle anyway. Heavies take longer to heat up, but they take longer to cool off too. I have 2 heavies, and dogs is all I use them for cause I am too lazy to drag them around any other time. Get the light barrel now and you have an excuse to pick up another rifle later.
