[QUOTE="TangoOscarMike, post: 1745525, member: 111417"] At under 300 yards, which is really what I would think is bear or moose hunting distance, I don't think that there is a great benefit to an extra four inches of barrel. As long as the rifle is balanced and points well I would go with the shorter barrel. It would certainly be much handier in the woods and could be of great benefit when you need to get a fast shot off at personal space distances. I never feel bad about the 18.5" barrel on the Marlin Guide Gun. I love the fact that you don't need a lot of clearance to get it up to your shoulder in the event that you need it NOW. [/QUOTE]
