[QUOTE="bruno t, post: 972591, member: 78680"] Way to short of a barrel at 16.5 inches for 600 yards. If it would be good all the guys I shoot benchrest at 600yards would have them. Stick with 20 at least. I'm not saying short isn't accurate, because short stiff barrels aresome of the most accurate rifles out there. Not for long range precise shots, you want some barrel to burn powder and get velocity. Some cartridges can do well in short barrels. Not trying to rain on your parade either. All benchresters I shoot with have 20 to 28 inch barrels. Some shoot 5 shot 2 inch groups and less on a no wind day. 16.5 inch sporter barrel with a solid rest on a bench will be very tough to hit paper, let alone a mule deer at 550yards. [/QUOTE]
