[QUOTE="sadstory, post: 1364459, member: 41712"] I'd love to get some opinions/thoughts (read help) on deciding on a 20" or 22" barrel for my new rifle build. A few things to consider: Hunting will be my main activity, but interested in getting into some casual local long distance shooting competitions. I will be often be shooting suppressed so the shorter barrel weighs-in when it comes to swinging around a rifle in the wilds. How much will I be giving up in distance when I am shooting plates/targets 750-1000+ yards between a 20" and 22". I will not be loading hot to make up for lost barrel length. Mostly hunting antelope, deer, varmint, and elk. (I'm not looking to engage in a discussion about feasibility of 6.5 CM for the different species mentioned, I am looking to reduce safe contents). I'd like a 6.5CM rifle that will keep me hitting steel @ 1000+ yards and hunt, effectively, to extended distances, and would like to hear about the pros and cons between 20" and 22" given some of the other considerations mentioned.
