I just don't see how 3-4" of barrel makes a rifle "handier". If extra barrel length was an asset all the military door kickers and police SWAT teams would not bother with carbines. And in the dense alder/willow pucker brush wounded brown bears hole up in I know for a fact that shorter barrels give you an edge ! A shorter overall length is also the primary advantage African PH's list for double rifles !

Its mostly lower-48 ruffed grouse hunters who think they know something about busting brush, as most upland shotguns have 24-26 inch barrels.
One day of hiking treeless alaska alders, any of them would quickley change their tune.
Short action 20" barrel carbine: 40 inches Long action 20" barrel carbine: 41-41.75"
I dont know about Alaska but recall living in Maine and I dont see how.4 inches of barrel makes a whit of difference when that big.buck clears out and.you try.to get a quick shot off at his quickly fleeing form.
The way life should be.

And in southeast there have been times I've sworn up and down while trying to get through alders or blueberry bushes. If chopping off my left nut would help me through that rat nest, I'd probably do it.
LMFAO! And well stated. Been there.

That is very interesting. The original bronze point was like a ballistic tip only it had a metal bronze tip instead of plastic. I thought the bronze tip was done away with years ago. But a true bronze tip in 9.3x62 would be very unusual. thanks

I just don't see how 3-4" of barrel makes a rifle "handier". This is the important part: “ make it a bit more handy in the brush”. It won’t hang up as much. I've never seen this to be the case in my experience, if the brush was a problem I have always went with a big bore revolver. Now that is much handier I have seen it make a difference more than once with different length barrels and I am not ever carrying both.

While working a moose kill a 7 footer came and my rifle was out if reach, but my 475 Linebaugh revolver was in my shoulder holster. Jimmy shot first and the bear went down and came up like he was spring loaded, I fired and the bear went down and never got up again. I can seen a difference from a 26" barrel to a 18 or 20. But a 22 to 20 I don't see that being much of a difference

The 475L with a wide meplat hardcast is impressive on large game. I shot Moose Bison and Asian Buffalo with it and hit hits like the hammer of Thor. The 500L and the 50JRH do hit a bit harder to me. I mean you can see the ribs push in more on impact In my experience there is a significant step up in impact over a 454
