[QUOTE="dgarrett, post: 1567470, member: 58686"] I would also look at what over all length you want your sheep/mountain rifle to be... Does the fps gains of somewhere around 20-25 fps to inch of barrel vs a nice little gun that you don't hardly know is in your pack worth it? That is what I would look at also..Lets face it unless you are filthy rich Sheep Tags are likely to come only once in a lifetime and then you have to be lucky... Are you on wilderness hunts where you need a short light rifle.... really.... or is it that you have a safe full of 10lb plus guns and just want something light. I like short light weight rifles for truck guns to... Wrestling 30 inch barrel rifles with breaks out has save many coyotes lives...I am in the process of building a light weight CM... I was originally going to go with 18.5 inch barrel... But just like everyone it seems.. I hate leaving FPS on the table and have second guessed my first build idea ... Now I am deciding between 20 and 22 inch.. Guess as stated above I could just go 6.5 prc and use the short barrel..My build will be on a Proof Sendero contour barrel so I am not saving every ounce I can....
