[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 436510, member: 22335"] I've got to agree. Dad is 5'9" and I'm just under 6 feet. We both shoot stainless Weatherbys with 26 inch barrels when elk hunting, sometimes carried on a sling and sometimes on a pack. Never had a problem yet navigating the woods, or thought I should go with a shorter barrel. Same when I'm in some of the thick woods here in MI deer hunting. I'd try it a hunt or two first before considering it. Once you shorten it you can't reinstall that 2 inches (which is true about almost everything :D ). [/QUOTE]
