[QUOTE="chutinlead, post: 2137621, member: 112603"] I think I really comes down to your cartridge, bullet choice, minimum expansion velocity of that bullet at the range you are comfortable taking shots. Do you need a 28" magnum barrel to push at 3200fps when 2800 would do the same work? Are you going to add 8" onto the end with a suppressor? I'm with [USER=86877]@SO I HUNT[/USER] on the 18". I rebarreled my old savage into a 6.5-06 and was going to do 18" and somehow during the threading and chambering never actually grabbed a tape and ended up with a 20". If it wasn't more effort than I wanted right now, I would take it off and chop 2" tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
