[QUOTE="Buffalobwana, post: 2817771, member: 123662"] Everything is a trade off when it comes to barrel length, caliber choice and velocity. I did this mental battle with my (hopefully soon to be delivered) 6.5 PRC. Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT. It’s going to wear a can and I want a gun that isn’t unwieldy to hunt with. I have a 20” 308 and that is (to me) the best balance of length, velocity loss (over a 24-26” tube) and weight. Add an Omega and you have a 26” overall length gun My choice was all about length as my 26” 7mag was a pita to hunt with wearing a can. [/QUOTE]
