[QUOTE="CB11WYO, post: 1143145, member: 57339"] I like reading your posts FEENIX :D GetReel... A shorter barrel will be subject to less vibration/harmonic inconsistency than a long barrel of the same contour. So in theory it would have more accuracy potential, bearing in mind FEENIX's comment... :D Adding to a barrels diameter or contour will also help minimize vibrations. I say potential because there are many long skinny barrels that shoot just fine. I'm toying with the idea right now of building a .22 cal varmint gun with a 16" straight cylinder (or close to it) for these same reasons. Keep it short for ease of use but heavy contour for accuracy potential. [/QUOTE]
