[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1855936, member: 75451"] As others have said, you will not lose accuracy with a shorter barrel.....your scope vender in “full of beans”! If that were the case, Contender handguns with 10” to 16” barrels would be useless. In fact, often shorter barrels exhibit an improved accuracy, perhaps due to increased barrel “stiffness”. Velocity loss, and this is just a guess....30 to 35 FPS/inch barrel removed! I don’t think it will be an issue with the ranges of intended use! Good Luck.....you should have a great rifle for it’s intended application! You asked about bullets, we use Barnes 225 TTSX’s in the wife’s rifle....for everything from antelope/deer to moose. One bullet, one load, one zero.....it simply works! memtb [/QUOTE]
