Surrell,
Nope, Heavier and shorter, would be more accurate! Shorter and larger does make a stiffer barrel. I shoot a PA taper on all but 2 of my rifles. (1.250” ,for six tapered to .940” at 31”). That taper will make the IBS weight limit with a Duel port 8.5 BAT.
Remington 700 you can get by w/ (1.250” for six tapered to 1.00” at 31”).
