Thanks gentlemen. That's exactly what I ended up doing. Instincts were just telling me no. And yes I was told 20 to 22" and I'm sticking to that advice. I mostly just didn't want to pass up a decent deal if there was one. But even I thought it was pricey. And that scope look way funny on the rifle! It was a little rifle with this huge scope. So anyway I didn't get it. Mostly was looking cause it was right in front of me.
But I'm going to stick to the advice or been given and continue looking for something a little longer.

Thankfully the appeal of a new rifle didn't out weigh logic and reason.

Everyone's advice hasn't been lost on me and is being put to good use. Thanks gentlemen
