So for hunting from a ground stand, would the full octagon be a better choice?

This will probably be my last build order, and I want it to be a special rifle.
 
I have two T/C White Mountain Carbines, and as COTNTOP said, they point and handle much better than my full octagon barrels. The only exception is for a swamped barrel, they are a dream come true!
 
Just trolling as usual. Ask him how well he can shoot that 15 lb gun toward the end of a 30 target woodswalk and wait for the answer nobody will be able to verify.
Schetzen rifle . It takes about 30 shots before I get tired. I don't do any "woods walking" anymore. Generally a heavier gun will hold more steady for off hand shooting than a light one will. Light guns will wobble all over the target. I like a light gun for hunting, say 7lbs for a .54. For a woodswalking gun probably add a couple pounds.
It helps to be young and in shape and practice a lot too.
Target guns and hunting guns are two different guns.
