If your type of hunting involves walking around, spend the extra money for the lightest weight barrel you can find. Go high-end for quality/accuracy, but also go light weight by getting fluting. I wish Daniel Defense offered their lightweight (pencil) AR barrel in 6.5 Grendel. I recently had a standard profile Grendel barrel turned down to a similar profile, but haven't had the chance to shoot it yet.
