What would you pick free float or heavy(bull?) barrel if you could not have both?
I ask this question because I was looking at the savage Edge today and I see it is free floated but is not a heavy barrel.
I am looking at it in .308. Does anyone know how many rounds can go through it before the barrel get so hot that it starts to twist or bend for a non-heavy barrel? I guess in hunting you only fire just 1-5 round to get what you are hunting.
I also saw a Remington 700 VTR which is not free floated but has odd barrel that claims to reduce heat.
