I want either a heavy barrel for match use or a light barrel for hunting use so it is very simple to me, an HBAR A2 profile 20" does the trick for service rifle use, a Satern Ultralight 14.5" with integral flash hider does the trick for a light weight big game rifle. I have blinders on for all others, because I have seen the others duke it our in competition. For my NRA match rifle I shoot a HBAR profile except extended to 26 or 28" instead of 20". But I see enough skilled riflemen put a whipping on 26 and 28 rifles using their 20" even at 600 yards that I don't think it adds much difference.
For me personally, I can shoot 195-196 scores with a 20" and 195-197 with a 28" heavy contour. It really just doesn't make that much difference.Skill and wind reading abilities make much more measurable difference. Perceptions are not very accurate. :}
Those wanting to gain an advantage in sales are much more concerned with a specific profile than those using the profiles.
