[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 360105, member: 15748"] I'm with Brimiy here. Need to know what sort of target shooting you're doing with this one to give you good advice. If you're into Palma shooting, a 29"-30" is pretty much required to get the velocity you need to stay supersonic @ 1,000 with a 155 grain bullet. If you're shooting across the course, a 26" barrel should be about right. The offhand and rapids dictate that balance be taken into consideration, and this is pretty much the norm among most shooters. Using a 26" barrel at 1,000 isn't a problem as long as you are using 190s or 200s (not an option for the Palma mentioned earlier), so yes, the type of shooting makes a huge difference. Someone suggested that you go spend some time on the range with folks who are shooting they sort of competition you want to engage in. That's great advice. I'm sure most will be more than happy to tell you their likes and dislikes, and you'll be able to make a much more informed decision. Kevin Thomas Lapua USA [/QUOTE]
