[QUOTE="southpa, post: 3058106, member: 65823"] Personally I've never found a standard length barrel (26") to be cumbersome. I see a lot of guys use the short barrel as a means for "easy packing" but like I said I don't think standard lengths are a burden and never have. I'm not buying that cutting 4" off your barrel will save that much for handling as far as length. Now weight is a different story. With carbon wraps and short barrels have a place for weight reduction in my mind and that's what's important to me. If I'm going short barrel I would choose a cartridge that gets the bullet I want to a certain speed. But I don't decide on short barrels for ease of handling as this is not a concealed rifle nor is it used for close quarters. My rifles generally live on my back for 90% of the season and are built with LR in mind. My pack doesn't care how long the barrel is. [/QUOTE]
