I am debating anywhere between 23 to 26 inches. I will be shooting elk out to 600 yds. Packing the weight is not an issue and 95% of my hunting will be hiking in the back-country. Mostly what I am thinking is having a nice handling rifle without sacrificing to much in terms of 600 yd performance on elk. I may be interested in lowering my maximum yds to 500 in trade for a better handling rifle. Thanks for any help in deciding.
Shod ..........What would 3" of shorter tube length lose in realistic terms? Guessing 60-90 fps MV? That won`t make any difference whether your elk is at 500 yards or at 600 yards away.
