[QUOTE="Jay Kyle, post: 1002747, member: 347"] Barrel length has some impact on accuracy but to a lesser extent - generally the shorter the barrel the less barrel whip you have to contend with - so longer almost hurts accuracy. Length really buys you higher muzzle velocity - when I do the math in Quickload with a 338/378 I would see about 25-30 ft/second increase per inch extending from a 26" barrel to a 32" barrel - but those are rough numbers. One of the many things that's unique about the LKRM bull-pup design is it puts the bipod out close to the end of the barrel, so you have less 'person wiggle' or shake at the muzzle than a typical rifle.
