YES I think a heavier barrel is more accurate, accuracy involves consistency. a heavier barrel helps with that. The military thinks it does as well. If not why tote a truck axle barreled bolt gun. a simple sporter weight rifle doesn't do the same thing. by the same standard why have anything ever more than a pencil barrel on an AR??
With that said I think a premium quality barrel helps make up for differences in conditions and other differences because its machining is more consistent. The lighter the barrel the better quality I want it. but then again I am a barrel snob anyways. I like to experiment with different barrels just to see how they shoot. All this said I don't advocate a varmint or bull barrel AR, my favorite would be the LTR, profile like black hole uses.

Heavy or skinny doesn't matter a rat's butt. I want top shelf accuracy. . There is no substitute for quality and no excuses for anything less.

Heavy makes a rifle easier to shoot, well because it's heavier. As far as quality the bore is still the same , because barrel stock is barrel stock... turn it to whatever contour you like.
Heavier barrels take longer to heat up, thus more shots before things change. A lite barrel takes less, but the bore is still the same.
When it comes to the kill shot,cold bore is important one and it don't matter what contour that is.
I'm glad there are a few that understand....
