[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1457489, member: 10755"] Carry the rifle muzzle down. I would not change a thing. I found my 6.5 Swede to kill things with more panache than what paper ballistics would suggest. I do not own a bolt gun with a barrel shorter than 22”, in fact, whenever I re-barrel, I almost always go longer if I don’t stay at the same length. Feeling long, and being long are 2 different things. I hunt with 26” and 28” barrels all the time, yes they clunk things if I sling them muzzle up, but generally I sling them muzzle down diaganolly across my back while walking in to a good vantage point to glass. If still/stalking, I carry the rifle at the ready, so this hampers nothing unless there is brush or other obstacles in the way. It boils down to what YOU want, not what those on the interweb say. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
