336 Texan I had to cut just at the rear of the front band screw groove. 17.5" gave me a very nice length especially with the 3/4 tube length. And not nearly as loud or flashy as the 16". I think the shorter mag tubes look and balance better. Still deciding on either a Leupy M3 4x compact or a Burris 4x mini. Hey it's a 25 year old gun, deserves a good vintage scope.
Shorty lever guns are seriously nice.
