Depends on how rapid you will be shooting it. If doing alot or rounds you might want to get a bull barrel version. Mine heats up after like 8 shots. So for PD hunts where you will be shooting more often consider the harder to carry thicker barrel versions.
It is sweet until you put hundreds of rounds through it, then it starts to creep down to 8 oz, then 4 oz, then 1 oz. You better have your Loc-Tite handy. Great rifles, otherwise, and you can always shoot it without setting. But I learned the hard way about how they creep down.
I would go with a cooper model 21 mine shoots as low as 1/16 .069 groups ( measured by a bench rest scorer at a match )with 39 gr Sierra Blitzking bullets and 6.5-20 VX3 and cooper will re-barrel for 125.00 when it needs to be replaced to the original purchaser

How many rounds did you have through it when you started having this issue?
