[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 240998, member: 8622"] TDD - short answer - yes. The more "stuff" that pokes out from the rifle; scope knobs, bipods, etc... The more stuff there is to get hung up on brush. Now - this may or may not make a difference to some, depending on where and how they hunt. When I'm pushing through brush, I don't even like the sling hanging off my rifle, let alone bipod, knobs, big extended "tactical" bolt, bulbous muzzle brake, huge scope etc... W/my rifles, the top one is a lot easier to slip around with than is the bottom one: [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/1e1841e8.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/8bfda6df.jpg[/IMG] Sometimes though, I'll put up with all those "accessories" because they help me shoot better at long range. The most specialized long range rifle I ever owned was this Win 70 "Palma" rifle with a 30" barrel, and an adjustable buttstock. It was wonderful at the rifle range, but would have been a royal pain to move with, through the vine maple and brush: [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/guymatch02.jpg[/IMG] Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
