    Would most agree that there would be little difference in accuracy between a 16" and 18" barrel in a .308 rifle?


    Thanks in advance

    what determines a barrel's length? from the muzzle to what ending point? my m99 savage 250 cal measures 24" from the muzz to the opening of the forward part of breech. does that make it a 24" barrel?

    Where do you measure the length of the barrel from? Other than the obvious at the end. I have an L frame S & W, from lug to end is 3 1/2" but if you measure from right next to the cylinder then it's 4". Thanks

    Is there a source that lists optimum barrel length by caliber? Obviously there are lots of variables powder, bullet weight ect.

    I've heard that a longer barrel makes accurate shooting easier. How true is this? Does it really depend more on the ammo and the shooter, or does that extra length make shots strike truer. I ask because I'm interested in a revolver and don't know if I want the 4" model or the 6" model.

    What are your thoughts/experiences?

    Thanks in advance,

    Recently posted a thread under the General Discussion "Bushmaster or Rock River". I have decided from the response and some research to order an A3 Bushmaster. Now the question remains what barrel length?
    Is there any real difference in accuracy between the 16" or the 20" barrels out to 300 yds[?]

    Thanks.

    Exodus;
    the only place that I can think of to add length to a barrel, is at you favorite gunsmith, and have him install a quality muzzle brake. Most qualified gunsmiths will be able to help you in determining type, and style of brake that will achieve what you are looking for with your project.
    Good luck,
