"I wouldn't want a much heavier barrel than what I have, otherwise it may turn out too muzzle heavy, you could always balance that with a bit of lead in the buttstock, but you can also end up with a "Dead Handling" rifle, one that doesn't handle or come up to the shoulder easily.
For hunting purposes go for handling qualities over a bit more weight."

Man, do I ever go along with this statement!!! Years ago I had a 510 A-Square, the Hannibal and Coil Check Stock. I did not agree with the way the rifle carried or shouldered and sold it.
