Curious if/how MSR10 Hunter handles throwing lots of rounds down range. I've read some MSR10s overheating and killing any type of accuracy. What contour barrel is this, and how has your accuracy done throwing rounds downrange? Thanks!

Matthew, this rifle has a 16" Carbon Steel Medium Profile Barrel with a 1:10" Twist Rate (5R Rifling) & Threaded 5/8x24. I haven't really noticed a significant amount of accuracy although I don't fire excessively for the barrel to get that hot. I may try it sometimes and report back. Cheers and stay safe!

I don't think its the overheating that is killing the accuracy, rather the accuracy out of the box is mediocre (which is not bad given that its a hunting rifle.... but you can get sub moa AR10 for the same price). With the 6.5 creedmore version, I get 1.5-2.5" range with occasional 1"' ish groups with high-end match ammo. Not great when I can get a PSA AR 10 that do sub moa for a lot less. I recommend looking at other options (such as PSA for a lot less or Aero Precision for similar price) I hope this helps.
