[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1991388, member: 17889"] First question that must be answered for ever rifle question.......What are you using the rifle for.....hunting.......stationary, humpin' it, horseback, steel ringing, paper punching, distances? Longer barrel does add velocity, but that may not be overall for the best. Longer barrels have more harmonics and possibly lower accuracy. Todd Hodnett, military shooter and now Accuracy first owner and trainer for military, uses 20" down barrels for the rigidity and consistency. Velocity is a consistent ballistic characteristic that can easily be accounted for in consistent come up dialing. Extra weight, harmonics, longer length to get through brush/deal with in vehicles/cases, plus extreme length if a can is ever desired, et el, et el. may make the extra velocity a very marginal trade off.
