Alaninga - I agree the 22 inch barrel feels better than the 20” on the Ruger UL and the Win Compacts - it helps a little with flip and muzzle blast as well.
I really like the feel of the rifle but an a little concerned about being able to hold steady in field conditions. I use sticks or a backpack whenever possible but if an offhand shot is needed I will likely miss the extra heft my other rifles have that helps steady a pounding heart and the ever present wind where I normally hunt. I will try using a Harris bipod on my next range trip to see if accuracy is affected. Prone is my favorite shooting position so if the pod doesn’t throw off the accuracy I may go that route.
