Ronald, no sir, this is not the heavy barrel. HB model is out of stock. >>> budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/97926/Savage+AXIS+HB+223+REM .....Have a great day!

Ronald, no Sir, this model has the Medium Barrel Contour. The Heavy Barrel version is out of stock at Buds (budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/97926/Savage+AXIS+HB+223+REM) - I would check on large gun and accessory sites like (6)un (8)roker and Guns International as discontinued and hard to find firearms and accessories show up for sale by private individuals and small shops. Just replace (6) & (8) with G & B. --------------- Another excellent firearms website for searching is ------ gunsinternational.com/ -- Cheers and stay safe!

Ronald, unfortunately this is not the heavy barrel version. Sorry but hope this helps.
