[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1771228, member: 52437"] I am not a long range hunter. My hunting ranges only go out to 400 yards. All my rifles have been 21-24 inch barrels with out breaks. I just purchased my first rifle with a break. It has a 24inch barrel not including the break so it is about 26 inches long now. All I can say is I find myself having to duck farther under branches than I did in the past and it is definitely less handy than the other rifles. That being said I will get used to it. If I were shooting out 700 yards and beyond id probably care more about the speed id be giving up depending on the energy I need to kill my game animal. So ask yourself, does that 50-100fps make a true difference in that regard? If not, then maybe handy rifle would be a nice change. [/QUOTE]
