[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1064193, member: 30902"] I've had barrels as short as 24" and as long as 30" including muzzle brake. How you hunt and shoot and what your'e comfortable carrying will dictate which is best for you but I really like the extra velocity gained with longer barrels. If I were going to build another STW tomorrow I'd go with 28" plus the brake. One advantage of longer barrels is that it allows you to achieve higher velocities with slower burning powders producing the same velocity you'd get with a faster powder in a shorter barrel. That's a bit of a reduction in wear and tear that could well add up to a couple of hundred shots or more extending the barrel's life. [/QUOTE]
