[QUOTE="Yoshie, post: 490547, member: 32609"] I have a 308 remington VTR 22" barrel (24" with the muzzle break). After working up a load for it, i am able to shoot a consistant MOA at 550 yards. I feel that the shorter barrels are ideal if you are only looking for short distances. as long as thickness/contour stays the same; the shorter the barrel the more stiff it is(stiff usually = accuracy). In short, the short barrel is quite capable of acceptable accuracy. I would tend to look at other factors with greater importance. if you cannot read the wind or hold your gun steady, then that should be fixed first! a 15 palma contour custom barrel on a trued Remington action should be able to shoot half minute at 500 yards, now if the shooter is capable(or if the wind is bad) that would be another story.
