[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2440758, member: 1521"] QuietTexan well covered a lot, and then there is the counter consideration; why go with a shorter barrel? Shorter barrels are more forgiving to barrel tune because they're stiffer for weight. Desiring this attribute while adding barrel length, also means moving up in profile weight to keep stiffness. This changes gun balance and could force you to add weight to the butt stock to regain good balance. A good LR big boomer is likely heavy, and for stalking hunting, less field practical. So then you're considering fluting or carbon barrel enhancements. It always begins with a bullet, then cartridge to push it, then barrel to cover, and overall system to reach all needs. [/QUOTE]
