[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2851325, member: 87243"] Nothing matters but intended use. Would you pick a 9 lb, 26" 28 nosler for a prairie dog hunt? Unlikely. Would you pick a 16 lb, 32" barrel .338 Lapua intended to be ran suppressed as a pack in back country mule deer gun? Unlikely. Would you pick a 8.5 lb, 20" .308 cal magnum of some flavor for an open country pronghorn rifle that stays close to the truck? Unlikely. I WOULD use all three of those rifles in certain circumstances, but not for the specific purposes listed. There simply isn't a "best" barrel length. However, there is appropriate choices for intended uses. It will vary based upon intended use. [/QUOTE]
