[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1086634, member: 24284"] Cut a stick 28" long and tape/rubber band it to an existing rifle like it would be the barrel. You said this is a hunting rifle. Now that you know what it feels like to carry around a rifle with a 28" barrel, do you really want to carry one hunting. 26" should be pleanty for the .280 Ackley. Those looong barrels are only a plus in very limited circumstances. Handling qualities are a major factor in how well you can reliably connect with any rifle. Long barrels have their place on LR bench rifles and hunting rifles that'll only be carried to a stand but to actually carry in the field? And, to beat all, you're having it fluted, so after it's fit there's no cutting it back! [/QUOTE]
