Onebullet, The caliber for my T/C is 350 Rem. Mag . I specifically ordered this caliber for heavy bush. The length of the barrel is 24”. This rifle is nice and short and handles very well. It has a good recoil when shooting at the range but I never notice it when shooting it at deer. I didn’t mean anything about my comment, just a heads up on muzzle control like Firehawk said.
