[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2596029, member: 61747"] Can’t blame you. However, the point for most of this is more about desiring a short barrel rifle for use with a can, lightweight, or for handling/carrying etc. So while going down this road and desiring x fps out of y bullet you have choices to make. For example people will say well just get a creedmoor vs a PRC. No, it's not apples to apples. A sherman, saum, or PRC in a 6.5 will far exceed a creed inch for inch. So, it boils down to whether a 140 grain bullet at 2800 fps is going to work for you. If so, then you can decide what barrel length and cartridge gets you there within your parameters. I only went the route of a 18 due to the way in which I carry the rifle coupled with can. I actually like the 22" better for the performance but the 18 is no slouch and does much better than I expected. [/QUOTE]
