On the light catagory if you still want a good stiff barrel look at the remmy model 700 VTR. Mine groups just about every factory ammo in 1" or less (most in .75" or less) at 100 right out of the box with no break in period. If I had time to work up a load (or even just shoot more I am sure part of that big ol groupin is me) I am sure it would reduce. It isn't the lightest gun in the fleet, but its triangular cross section barrel is lighter by far than a full bull barrel, and even when shooting several magazines full without stopping it does not noticeably warm. The factory trigger in it is more than fine (crisp and light but not too light) for target to field.

223s
I happen to have a few 223s. The Remington bull barreled gun is very accurate. But I have a 223 Sporter and for all intents and purposed it is about as accurate as the heavy gun. I haven't shot it in any long sessions so the light bbl might wander a bit as it got a bit hotter. But that won't happen here now. Coyote times here now so I use my Bushmaster Varminter. Even if you shoot it alot..it won't get too warm at 0 or below
 I have a friend with the Savage in 223 and he is very happy with his. It does have an accu trigger too
