That Remington Varmint is heavy and more importantly it's long. So when you've got it on a sling, it's trying to roll around on you. You will find it a pain in the arse rolling around on a four wheeler if you don't have it cased up somehow. That said, who gives a shite since it's a long range rifle, you aren't going to be carrying it around like a regular hunting rifle, and it's purpose built for what it is. Yes, that barrel is excellent. It's a beautiful piece of machinery.

When I said Remington Varmint, I didn't mean the gun. I meant barrel contour or barrel profile. I don't see any need to go to a heavier profile, I have a m24 profile rock Creek barrel on my 260 and at 24 inches that thing is a beast and I wish someone would have told me it wasn't needed. I built my rifle to shoot, I take it hunting, shooting, competitions, etc. Unless you have money to spend I don't see the point in tieing up 5 grand in a range only rifle.
