20" Douglas #3. Handles great with no whippyness. Even with the heavy laminated stock (I drilled some out) she weighs exactly 8 lbs with three rounds--my target weight.

The barrel band really keeps it low on my shoulder for walking through that dark timber, as well...

Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.

Stupidity has no average...
