I don't have a problem with barrel bands in general. And the problem with going with a larger diameter barrel is iron sights. I don't plan to ever mount a scope on this gun. Pure iron sights all the way. It is a field carry gun for fox and cat squirrel (and rabbit) and it needs to stay light and quick.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004

You could always put a red dot on it, and it would still be quick and light. Even with a bull barrel on mine, it is still pretty light compared to my other rifles.
