Agree with pg completely. Even a sporter weight Bbl works just fine.The heavies, as I see them ,are to maintain a higher level of accuracy through protracted shooting sessions ( Like a PD town) ...the heavier, stiffer barrel shoots better when hot.
You aren't going to heat it up on a coyote stand, and unless you just like carting around heavy stuff...Id got sporter or mag contour( and I have...) Lots of rifles shoot phenomenally with light barrels.
