[QUOTE="budlight, post: 466498, member: 2939"] Hello Fellow Nevadian! The generality you hear are numbers like 25 - 50 feet per second per inch of barrel length from 20 - 28 inches. All rifle loads on FPS are also genralities that would require actual chronograph time with you particular combo. I've humped some Nevada mountains with big barrels with over 20 pound rifles. you can go with a smaller contour barrel and the difference in weight between a 22 and 26 inch is negligable. or even 28 with a brake. Personally i don't shoot super ranges or at moving animals because the possibility of wounding and loosing them goes up exponentially. but I believe that longer barrels are easier to hold steady and the added FPS and less muzzle blast is a plus. You only need a short barrel for thick brush and dangerous game! LOL [/QUOTE]
