When I put a .36 Green Mountain drop in barrel on my TC Hawkin rifle, it did pick up a noticeable amount of weight. I partially offset that weight gain by leaving the underrib and ramrod ferrules off since I was mainly using that rifle as a target rifle anyway.
I had a TC Cherokee in .32 but the barrel measures 13/16 between the flats and is only 24 inches long. You could carry it all day.
