[QUOTE="mgood, post: 1101196, member: 91188"] My main hunting rifle has a 24" barrel. It feels clumsy when trying to get through the brush with it slung on my shoulder. It catches every tree limb in the area. I'd really like to stay away from 26" barrels and there's no way I'd go longer than 26" for an every day carry around rifle. I'd like to get shorter, like 22" if it wouldn't kill my velocity. For a gun made specifically for long-range shooting, I can see that a 30" barrel would make sense. But for a general-purpose hunting rifle, it does not suit me. So it depends on what you want to do with it and what you're comfortable lugging around. [/QUOTE]
