Faxon Gunner Barrels Velocity Comparison 18" vs 20" ??

[grayfox]

I'd get laughed out of deer camp if I brought a cart to drag my rifle into the woods, you know how that goes. Like I said, I have a 20" fluted Criterion upper from Mark and like I said, it's beautiful and heavy(upper weighs a shade under 7lbs with scope), IDK if having him flute an 18" barrel for me would make that much of a difference.(Maybe getting rid of the muzzle brake and just going with a target crown) I'm not averse to spending the money, but since it's going to strictly be for hunting, I'm not expecting to put more than a few dozen rounds a year through it once I find a load it likes. Is there someone out there producing lightweight barrels above rack grade? I'm already using a light HG, so there's not much I can lose there. Any other suggestions?

HAHAHA!! Doesn't really bother me much, I haven't done many camps, don't hike long trips when I hunt, and besides the deer don't seem to mind anyways .
But yeah, talk to Mark, go for a lightwt profile I'm sure he can do something for ya.
My 16er weighs about 7 1/2 lb, I can walk that one if I need to...
