RE: BARREL LENGTH QUESTION PLEASE!!!!
I shoot a Traditions Lightning Lightweight with a 22" barrel. In all likliehood I wouldn't shoot much past 125, maybe 150 yards anyway. I am very happy with my grouping at 100+ yards. Some of my buds have longer barrels and shoot pretty much the same quality as I do. But I gotta tell ya, for a rifle in the mountains, and or alot of walking/stalking, this little baby is like a sweet little carbine rifle. It's light, it fits me like a glove and I'm confident with it. That to me is more important.
