Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Barrett Fieldcraft LW rifle?

Old tread but very informative.
If shooting unsupressed 6.5 would you choose the smaller diameter 21 inch barrel or the #2 24 inch barrel.
What about the option of cutting the 24 inch barrel to 20-21,would there be enough difference in handling to notice.The velocity isn’t going to make much difference in my ranges.
I really prefer a shorter barrel for beating thur the woods is all.
I have a rem 700 lss in 30/06 and shocked how much smaller the barrel is than the 24 inch fc.
.5560 vs .6135
