The “DMR” profile stands for “designated marksman rifle”. This moniker is descriptive of the type of shooting that this barrel is best for. Since it heats and cools more slowly due to the fact that the area under the handguard is heavier and the taper toward the muzzle is slight. This heavier 46.2 oz barrel was meant to cater to the shooter who needs a less dramatic effect from a thinner lighter profile which can lose accuracy after heating up to a certain point. Additionally, you can put a high number of rounds through the barrel over its lifetime, meaning it is a decent option for those who practice a lot, but need the long range, long-life potential of this heavier profile.
