[QUOTE="Broz, post: 483517, member: 7503"] Guys I have a Stag Varminter with a heavy SS target barrel 24" with a 1 in 8 twist. She is a bit front heavy and I am thinking of maybe putting her on the chopping block. My concerns are I plan to load for it soon and want to take advantage of the larger bullets the 8 twist will shoot for long range shooting. I will be using it for gophers and prairie dogs in the summer and also coyotes year round. What do you think the perfect length barrel would be? I don't want to loose accuracy. Right now with the very inexpensive Wolf 55gr rounds its affective range is about 550 yards on a yote. I hope to take it farther with larger bullets and hand loads. Thanks for any advice.
