[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 158939, member: 8843"] I personaly like a big fat barrel and I personaly like flutes but thats me, my dad on the otherhad likes short compact light weight look. Barrel conture doesen't have much to do with first or even second round hits , now when you get to 3,4 and 5 rounds through it in hotter calibers som with start to "walk" The biger heavy barrels make a bigger differance in the weight of the gun , heavier guns can generaly be shot more accuratly in field conditions. For a sporter conture I'd say a #4 is about as light as I would consider if I were building a light weight gun. the differance is speed with a 24 to a 26 barrel is pretty slim with that chambering , so if they offer it in 26" get it and if you find that its to long then for about $50 a smith can lop it off and recrown it. I don't see why Shilen woulden't do that for you for free if you asked. [/QUOTE]
