RE: How important is barrel length?
What happened to our good forums here? We have an Arrogant A-Hole that moved in, that is a self-proclaimed GOD with firearms, and knows all. Not only is he a God in his own eyes, he is better than people because of what state they live in. Time for a troll to disappear! :D

You have been told directly that we don't appreciate your demeanor and attitude with your smart-a$$ed answers and flippant behavior. Yet you continue in your annoying way. You just don't get it, do you?? Why don't you just move on, "pard"??? You have alienated nearly everyone who has responded to your posts in some fashion. Your seamy little stories concerning your adventures with women have no place on this forum. Young people frequent here too, and this is no place for your type of commentary. You are personna non grata here as far as I'm concerned. |

Never once claimed to do R&D "work" for anyone, or any entity other than myself....and friends, aka, pards, huntin' buddies, shootin' buddies, ect.
Can't know where you misread what I wrote beyond a lame attempt to "corner" me on some figment of your imagination. R&D is an anacronym for research and development....commonly done andknown as "load work up" by anyone who reloads. Only you couldfail tomake that simply obviousconnection...... As far as the girly stuff goes you yourself were the one who couldn'tquite get a handle onthe concept of"skookum" meaning the same as "cool" or "good"...and I figured you'd grasp it with a discriptive female analogy. My bad for not realizing you'd miss that by a mile,too........... The simple truth is you and your friends here can't justifythe money/time/effort you've spent on load work-ups and long fat barrels in your quest for tiny groupswhen a stranger shows up anddumps purple kool-aid on you party with common sense, laws of physics, and quicker solutions. BT/DT has merit........ |

Could have my 12 year old come on here and explain Newberry's OCW priciples as he's a fair knowledge of it. Am afraid however, some one of you would choke on your Cheetos.......

Disposable income IS a sumbitch at times ya know, when forced into such things as a Bushnell purchase to win a beer. I believe the bet was, "Dude, betcha a beer you won't go across the street and buy a Bushnell anything. Must havewon two beers that day eh "wilds"??? |
RE: How important is barrel length?
I've worked with a lot of people like you. They feel rejected from all the other group, so they find a new one in hopes of being accepted. They enter and try to act like the big man, they start by throwing out insultes and cut down because that is what they usually get, then they try to impress everyone with there cool lingo and I know more then you attitude, then finish off by telling of all their adventures and conquest. The truth is you could fit in any group fine if you took it easy and didn't try so hard.
The real truth is you have hijacked my thread and I have had to waste my valuable time to sift through your pleas for acceptance in order to filter out the knowledge that I need to decide on what barrel I want. So play nice like the rest of us their are a lot of kids reading and you'll do just fine here. |

What's obviously not obvious to you or your friends is that you can source what ever GoodBarrel length/contour thattrips your trigger and make it shoot well....

RE: How important is barrel length?
So then, the ball is in your court....since you are a resident Expert.
Do tell us how to make a rifle shoot, and by all means skip the first couple threehundred marks of yardage and go on out past 1K wilst yer at it..... I anxiously await your expose' on the finer points of ballistics and firearms tuning........................ |

Of course, when the balls is throwed out, theExperts doin' all the gripin' can't come thru'.....
I AM good at Fishin'............... You need not a fat barrel, nor a long barrel, to make gains in "accuracy"... All is needed is a judicous effort to understand the Physics. Makin' rifles shoot is easy...................... |
RE: How important is barrel length?
I'm not sorry at all Ruger, can you live with that?;)
Wilds, I think at this point you have thrown the ball into an empty court because everyone left and doesn't want to play with you anymore. Paul |
RE: How important is barrel length?
This one time at college I lived with a kid just like you. He knew EVERYTHING about any subject mentioned. Hunting, yep an expert, fishing, yep an expert, women, yep you guessed it an expert. Needless to say, not many people enjoyed his company, most of my friends couldn't tolerate him past 10 minutes of conversation. As a matter of fact, this expert also had a disposable income.......He was an only child that never got off moms tit, bought everything he could think of, and then called mom and she paid his credit card bill...........You don't happen to have an Illagitament son from some "skookum" in Iowa?

RE: How important is barrel length?
Heck Wilds I kinda like the argument. I start everyday thinking I'm going to learn something new. Thank goodness you have contributed your 2 cents because I have learned a new language. I believe its WV Talk. Not to offend many of the good residents from WV but I know now why there are so many jokes generated from the area. It's because of people like yourself. I know Central PA has its share of Issues but at least your not one of them. By the way, WTF does fishing have to do with the rifle forum. Now you have posted two pics of Fish. You also mentioned something to someone about skipping the first 2 or 3oo yards and move out to 1K. Bring your short stiff shootin pole to Williamsport PA this weekend. Bring your checkbook too, maybe we can do a side bet. You have your 22" 308 and I'll bring something a little bigger. Let your ego at home and bring your Skookum kilitude attitude cause I think you might need it. :)

It's not length so much as girth:
 You're just not a man unless you shoot a .45-70.:D |
RE: How important is barrel length?
Thanks guys!!!
You've had me chuckling all week at work, really made my day...:D I've just gotta know though, who's idea was it to make up this new guy with all the answers,make himbabble like an engineer type that many of us have delt with in the past, with no real life experience and what little he has had is so impressed that he has to run around and announce it to the world??? Genius, pure genius...Ya'll realized it was the "off season" for many and still created some entertainment....Thanks... Oh yea...Was RugerM77.270 in this from the beginning??? What really made this hit home for me is there is no way that there can be this much chatter over a simple thing as barrel length.... Thanks again!!! |

RE: How important is barrel length?
I'm guessin' then, that to fit in on this site you first, shouldn't have any knowledge of rifle building, precision reloading, or precision shooting at long range......
And, second, you shouldn't understand the nuances of the Laws of Physics and how they apply to riflebuilding, reloading, and shooting. A fat barreled, as issued factory Savage/scope combo.....shooting the cheapestfactory ammo on the shelf,is all you need. Laffin' MFAO......... |
RE: How important is barrel length?
try staying on topic, and treat folks with a lil respect wether they agree with you or not. |
RE: How important is barrel length?
ORIGINAL: Ridge Runner ORIGINAL: OCW not only negates contour worries in a good barrel but diminishes such voodoo as bullet lot # differences, powder lot # differences, case capacity varience issues, weather/temp/humidity related issues, and such....... RR You are a joke dude....... ORIGINAL:Ridge Runner besides, you didn't write the book on firearms I argued with ya.....there's where I'm guilty.

RE: How important is barrel length?
I want a long barrel in a varmint rifle for velocity, but a shorter stiff barrel for pure accuracy and punching paper.

RE: How important is barrel length?
I have seen some darn thin barrels that were very accurate. They were high quality barrels on built hunting rifles. They may not have been able to group quickly all day because of barrel heating but with allowing for a good cool down they amazed me. The rifles belonged to some gentlemen I met at the range. They had them for hunting out west in the mountains where weight was a consideration. Then they broke out their heavy bean field rifles and really amazed me. The barrels were all high-end barrels with hand loads. Quality and hand loading were the determining factors. For the length it is up to you to decide what trade offs you want. Lighter and handier or max velocity. I think you need to make that your determining factor. If you hunt from a climber or have really long hikes a 26,28, or 30 heavy barrel may not be for you. That is just an example. Decide by looking at your hunting style. I don’t believe that length is the determining factor for accuracy. Some people like the longer barrels with slower powders and pushing the speed envelope and still get the accuracy. Others like the opposite. For me, if it were going to be a range gun mostly then I personally would pick a longer heavy barrel. As others have said you can’t add barrel length later.
