[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1101308, member: 10755"] Haha!! I bet I could out shoot any short barrel you could dream up. Length has NOTHING to do with accuracy, it's thickness CAN, but even skinny long barrels can be very very accurate. I don't wear hearing protection when hunting, I don't expect to fire more than a magazine full of ammunition (3), unless I'm spotlighting, in which case I'm shooting from a vehicle, so I use ear plugs LIGHTLY inserted in my ears. Also, a longer barrel points far more stable than a light short barrel. But, seeing as though you like them, then they MUST be better. I like 24" barrels on 270's/30-06's, 26" barrels on ALL magnums as a minimum, and anywhere between 22"-26" on big bores. My target/long range barrels start at 28" and go up from theire, as does the THICKNESS. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
