[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 264735, member: 12"] Generally, the barrel length has zero to do with accuracy. Rather it is a matter of tuning the load to the barrel, no matter what the length. Just look at the most accurate rifles around, the PPC guns with 20-22" barrels. However, the overall gun balance will effect the ability to shoot the gun. The decision for taper and fluting depends on weight limits, desired MV, etc, whether the barrel is cut or buttoned (ie cut can be fluted at anytime, while button must be fluted before final lapping). what is your target weight, what do certain profiles weigh, (fluting removes only 6-8 oz normally). Anything needed over that, better change the length or dimensions. BH [/QUOTE]
