[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 3058066, member: 8394"] I once cut a rifle off at the length that fit flush with my Gunslinger pack... lost a little velocity but gained ease of portability crawling through Alders. When I spit a lot more time in the high desert barrels were as long as possible, carried in a Scabbard on my back the weight didn't matter nor the overhead height. A rifle that looks like a four wheeler flag in the sagebrush doesn't cause any problems. The more compact a rifle can be the easier it is to pack around, Our testing with cutting down Barrel showed that certain cartridges dropped off at a certain length. For rifles that are going to be carried a lot I try and cut them right around those lengths that we decided upon. In most instances I can go to the next cartridge size figure to make up for performance if I absolutely need it. [/QUOTE]
