Blue, how would your "battle" rifle compare to your 3 gun rifle? I'm assuming the difference is going to be mostly in the barrel length?? I almost have my 3 gun rifle put together. It's one of my cheaper rifles, but it always goes bang. Well, my others always go bang too, but they have longer/longish heavier barrels......
A fighting gun, for me, wouldn't have a brake, lightweight carrier, as light of a trigger, and would have a lighter weight barrel.
But there are sacrifices both ways to get a setup that's ideal for the use. You could do really well in either with a general purpose 14.5" gun.
