[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 702888, member: 2736"] The 308 was designed for 20'' barrels and although they will gain velocity with a longer barrel it will not be very much. If you go to a 24 or 26'' barrel you will gain maybe 50 ft/sec over a 22'' barrel. The use is more important. for hunting, 22'' to 24'' is perfict. For targets where you want all the velocity possible and dont have to carry it a 27'' or 28 is ideal. Also with iron sites the 28'' barrel gives you a better sight radus. My preference on 308 based cartriges for hunting is 22' or 23'' barrels. With a short action these rifles are handy and give up very little velocity plus being shorter the barrel is stiffer and seems to be more accurate. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
