On the light catagory if you still want a good stiff barrel look at the remmy model 700 VTR. Mine groups just about every factory ammo in 1" or less (most in .75" or less) at 100 right out of the box with no break in period. If I had time to work up a load (or even just shoot more I am sure part of that big ol groupin is me) I am sure it would reduce. It isn't the lightest gun in the fleet, but its triangular cross section barrel is lighter by far than a full bull barrel, and even when shooting several magazines full without stopping it does not noticeably warm. The factory trigger in it is more than fine (crisp and light but not too light) for target to field.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
