i like long barrels for better accuracy
Snowball, FYI - Long barrels do not equate to better accuracy. Matter-of-fact some accurized firearms, especially bull barrels are actually shorter than the "average" rifle.

Long barrels do offer a better sight radius, so your statement holds true if you are not using a scope, although the rifle itself is not more accurate.
Good answer newguy. I agree.
