[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1378821, member: 12995"] Essentially, they are identical, other than aesthetics. The Gen 2 has a fluted & threaded barrel, a brown & black web stock, and the metal is cerakote finished in black. Other than that, it's the same stainless steel action, same 416R stainless 5R barrel, and same brand and model HS Precision stock as the Gen 1 models. Barrel length is as much preference as it is performance. Yes, longer barrels give more velocity, especially in magnum cartridges, but some people are ok with giving up velocity for portability, especially if they plan on running a suppressor on it (which will add another 7"-10" to the end of the gun). Personally, I like a 26" barrel for all cartridges, other than short-action cartridges. And in some cases, I even prefer a 26" for certain short action cartridges to get the most out of it. [/QUOTE]
