Thread: Lightweight Barrels and "walking"

The CZ527 I have just now is horrible (still perfect for hunting, 3 shot groups are spectacularly good) after 5-7, the Remmy Model 7 was just as bad, and a Tikka was only a wee bit better. Howa's and Savages I've shot about the same as the Tikka

Is there a barrel manufacture type or a maker that produces consistently accurate lightweight 223 barrels that'll shoot 8-10 shot groups.

Thoughts?

If you are running a moderator then it's heat haze/mirage.

Nothing to do with the barrel.
