[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 2006267, member: 78438"] To answer your question, the difference between the two wont make any difference. If that's all you got, its very possible. I'd lean toward a 20" barrel for a dedicated hunting rifle. 7 or 8 twist for shooting heavier bullets. Dear inside 200 shouldn't be a problem. Bears are another level of tough in my experience, I've seen them take magnum rounds with good shot placement and go what seems like an impossible distance. I wouldn't shoot bears with a 556 unless I had a close behind the ear shot. If that's all you got, go hunting. [/QUOTE]
