To go a bit further with my comments (and opinion), I would swap the barrel out or get another rifle. Life’s too short to have an off-spec barrel. I have a couple of pencil barrel rifles, and some heavier barrels, most of which are high dollar replacements. None of them have any bizarre heating/accuracy issues. And, prior to the new barrels, none of the original barrels acted odd either.
And, on the subject of barrels, i’m fond of 20 inch barrels, with a slightly heavier contour. My Tikka 260, with a #4 Brux barrel will shoot 100 and 120 grain bullets into the same small group and will do it again and again and again.
I would not be happy with a rifle that was not extremely accurate or sprayed the second bullet. Sometimes I need that second bullet, and it needs to go where it’s aimed.
