[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2571205, member: 27307"] And the environment you're hunting in can and will determine the cartridge, bullet, weight and barrel length. When I hunt the Upper Peninsula in the deep woods, I carry a 14" T/C Contender in 30-30 Win. Cross carry holster makes it easier to walk over beaver dams and cross over icy creeks. When I hunt small deer in the southern U.S. I've been carrying a .250 Savage AI with a 21" barrel in a lightweight stock. My usual elk rifles weigh somewhere around 12 lbs. when I hunt/walk the higher ranges. 26" is the shortest barrel and 30" is the longest for 'cross canyon' or long meadow shots. This is similar to power line shooting in some western states and Wisconsin. :) [/QUOTE]
