[QUOTE="Carey Farmer, post: 2613005, member: 122715"] My 32" barrel rifles are typically 1/2" moa with handloads. Based on my small sample of 32" vs 26" I think my rifles with shorter barrels are a little more accurate, but don't seem to do any better on es / sd. The extra 6 inches of barrel (and heavier contour to keep muzzle diameter up) add about a pound and a half. I'm a little bit of a wuss when it comes to recoil, and actually prefer a little heavier rifle if chambered for a magnum cartridge. Carry weight of the dead animal is more of an issue for me than carry weight of the rifle. [/QUOTE]
