[QUOTE="lv2hunt, post: 891267, member: 4842"] Thanks for the replies please keep them coming! So general consensus seems to be that a 26" to 28" length on the barrel would be optimum all things considered. From what I have gathered it looks like at 26" one can expect around 2,750 fps with a 300-grain pill, and about another 30 to 50 fps gain for every inch up to the 30" mark. Overall weight aside, I believe my 30" barrel will be suitable for my needs, I can always cut it down if needed. I am a little concerned as well about the twist rate that I have, mine is a 1 / 10 is this workable? Thanks, lv2hunt [/QUOTE]
