Goals -a light, accurate target, deer, and hog gun. -shooting high bc bullets (140 gr.+) -decent balance even when I attach my can -targets to 1000 yds, animals inside 600 yds Questions -is there a point where the velocity gains slow relative to barrel length? -is 23" reasonable? -I'm in TX so I want a barrel contour that can handle some heat. How light can I go? I was thinking bull sporter-ish. -Has anyone built a similar rifle? [/QUOTE]
