[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 1874199, member: 65116"] A 24" barrel was the standard we grew up with on our 22LR iron sight first guns. Those guns looked good and had enough sight radius to make them deadly accurate. True in revolvers as well: longer barrel better sight radius. Burning Bullseye or Unique, barrel length does not matter much. As magnum rifles came along, longer barrels became popular. The advent of rifle scopes made sight radius not an issue. Velocity and ease of handling are the competing issues. My 338 EDGE with a 30" bull barrel loves 300g Matchkings (90g of H1000). Same gun with a lighter 26" barrel really prefers 250g Gamekings. (100g of H1000). With 2" for a muzzle brake and you have a long gun in either case. It comes down to personal choice. Shooting from a small deer stand makes a long barrel a problem. [/QUOTE]
