[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1143226, member: 13833"] It does not surprise me that the 788 outshot the others! That is not all that unusual. I also agree that harmonics is the real issue whether or not the barrel is 20" or 30". Common sense would tell me that shorter (to a degree) might be easier to tune, but I have no proof of that. I think that possibly the sighting radius is part of the equation in accuracy. A 20" barrel may be as capable, or even more capable, of accuracy but any movement is accentuated in the group size. Thats why 2" barreled handguns can be so difficult to hit anything with much past the muzzle. [/QUOTE]
