[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 558337, member: 30902"] You are looking at a dedicated medium and short range rifle that does a nice job of being a nice medium and short range rifle. I've shot much tighter groups with my 10/22 and .204's than that, but I don't recommend either of them as being an ideal long range hunting rig. Why? Because they are not. Let's look at a couple of examples that actually apply here. M24 [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M24_Sniper_Weapon_System]M24 Sniper Weapon System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] 24" barrel. M40 [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M40_rifle]M40 rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] 24" Barrel. You are giving up an average of 300fps by going with an 18" barrel, and if again, all else being equal, you could get the same accuracy from one trust me, we'd not have gone with the 24" barrel because they are heavier and less maneuverable in tight quarters than an 18" barrel.
