[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1041946, member: 64108"] Typical "sporter" barrels are ~22" and in the 2.5 lb range and are great for carrying but not for shooting long, although 300 yards is no problem. They heat up fast so load testing repeated shots takes a while. So going with a #4 would add a pound on the muzzle end, keeping balance in mind. Any caliber with that bolt face will do the job at 300 and beyond. I do appreciate having a gun with a short barrel in a small box blind. This is Douglas's info [URL=http://s21.photobucket.com/user/rwedgy/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150125_094320_zpsa227ae43.jpg.html][IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b296/rwedgy/Mobile%20Uploads/20150125_094320_zpsa227ae43.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
