You're favoring a tangent to what you want. I'm looking for something more practical than a 22 that can only shoot 75gr pills. Feel free to take exception from the weight ballgame. To a point I'm with you. I'm not looking at a 32" bull barrel with a benchrest stock if that's the point of view you've understood (though I do want length to give slow-burning powder a chance to do its trick). My point was a couple extra pounds ain't a big deal. And I'm not sure you realize I'm also not looking to shoot chicken eggs at over 500yds. Hummingbird eggs will have to suffice
