Their are two main reasons the longer barrels tend to be a bit more accurate. A longer sight plain. And less barrel jump. However the 6" and the 8" are very close. I like them both. But for carrying and hunting with open sights I prefer the 4" model. It is just easier to carry, and hamdle. Tom.
Tom, how far out do you feel comfortable for elk and black bear size game? I have been practicing, but not past 40 yards, and I feel comfortable to there.
