[QUOTE="Clarkw, post: 1807240, member: 99089"] To make a comment on barrel length. I carry a 24 inch barreled rifle with my Omega with no issues. Im 6.2. When I say carry, that was both in the Colorado mountains and easily move it around in a box blind in TX. In my limited hunting career, I have noticed every animal reacts differently when shot. My wife and I will hunt the exact same rifle, bullet combo hunting white tails here in Texas. Last year, hers, bang flop. Mine, run 30 yards. This year, mine have all dropped in their tracks and hers are running. My guess is it all comes down to whether you hit a rib, spine, angle the animal is standing or simply, the day. Full disclosure, my experience with 143 eldx out of my 6.5 SAUM has been fantastic on elk, aoudad, white tails and pigs. I will however switch to 300wsm when the barrel wears out (shelf ammo in a pinch is the reason why) Good luck [/QUOTE]
