Bull Barrel Advantages?
« on: August 04, 2006, 03:19:31 AM »
I'm looking at an H & R Ultra in .223, which is offered with either a bull barrel or sporter barrel.  Is there any real advantage to having a bull barrel in this caliber? ???  Thanks.

Welcome Aboard:

To me there advantages in owning the bull barrels..they have always given me good accuracy from them and this outweighs the additional weight.

I don't own a 223..but I have owned the 308's and 243's in bull barrels...

The bull barrel takes longer to heat up, it also takes longer cool down once it heats up. However my 223 bull barrel seems to shoot tighter the hotter it gets (I don't let it get real hot) and it doesn't walk as much as the tapered sports barrel. The only dissadvantage, if you can call it that, is that the bull barrel is top heavy so with rifles I use in brush hunting I like the sports barrel.
