[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 2089909, member: 103996"] Doesn’t look too long to me. Remember that the larger the amount of powder to be burned, the higher the benefit of a long barrel. That’s why 50bmg’s have 36” barrels, lapua’s really should have at least 30 (although many have less) and 300 win mag needs at least 26 to get the most out of it. I’ve never really felt encumbered by having a 30” barrel. I don’t understand the appeal of “short as possible” for a long range gun. You won’t be making many shots that need a short barrel, like shooting in brushy area at close range anyways. [/QUOTE]
