Heavy barrel
I saw a 22-250 in a gunstore today. I am ashamed to admit I didn't look at who made it.
What drew my attention was that at first I thought it was a bolt action 10ga shotgun. It had a barrel at least 26" long and what looked 1 1/4" diameter. Very heavy barrel and wide forend on the stock.
I have seen heavy barreled rifles before, but this was massive.
How many have barrels like this on their rifles
?

I have one in 220 Swift, it is pretty much just for bench rest shooting. BA
