[QUOTE="tunacan, post: 458638, member: 15693"] Im in the same boat. I am currently waiting on a barrel for my Edge as we speak. I researched this topic quite a bit and what it boils down to is functionality. I wanted something that I could tote around and not be too cumbersome. I opted to go with a 30" barrel in the Remington 17 contour. As with a few of my other guns it seems like there is an accuracy node at a certain FPS. From what i've researched with the Edge 2800 +- 50 FPS is where everyone is at getting the happy medium between accuracy and speed. As stated in a prior post, there is a point of deminishing returns on barrel length. For ME the extra 50-100 FPS gained by going 4 inches longer isn't worth it. I was just reading another thread about a big, long barrel on a factory action. The accuracy was suffering and the gun was getting beat to death because the 8 lbs of steel barrel was putting too much stress on the action and 1/4" screws that hold it all together. [/QUOTE]
