I am buying a Steyr SBS Pro-Hunter rifle in 7mm-08 and can't decide between the 20" & 23 1/2" barrels is there really enough difference in velocity to matter?? any help would be appreciated thanks chad
Not as far as I am concerned. For years, I used a 20" barreled Mannlicher-Schoenauer .270 Win. carbine for all my hunting, including three years in Alaska, with no feeling of handicap whatsoever.
I believe the 7-08 is an even better round for use in a short barrel!
