Its mostly lower-48 ruffed grouse hunters who think they know something about busting brush, as most upland shotguns have 24-26 inch barrels.
One day of hiking treeless alaska alders, any of them would quickley change their tune.
Short action 20" barrel carbine: 40 inches
Long action 20" barrel carbine: 41-41.75"
I dont know about Alaska but recall living in Maine and I dont see how.4 inches of barrel makes a whit of difference when that big.buck clears out and.you try.to get a quick shot off at his quickly fleeing form.
Simple question: do you hunt any big game? If so, what and where do you hunt?
Alaskans trying trying to convince some sort of lower 48 heckler about ideal rifles for Alaskan conditions, is sort of like walking up to some dude licking a fking window........and asking him to please stop doing that.
A waste of time for everyone.
