[QUOTE="tony m, post: 1101326, member: 78980"] I believe the longer the tube the more difficult it is to keep harmonics /vibration in order hence a longer barrel needs to be quite thick to be more efficient.This can create a portability/weight issue.Don't serious benchrest shooters have short/fats?Another question...If a long range shooter wants increased muzzle velocity why not use a larger chambering? EG: go from a .308 win to a .300? Same BC, higher velocity achieved with a shorter barrel. [/QUOTE]
