Be that as it may. By the same logic, this little discussion: Wife: Did you do the dishes? You: No. Wife: Sweep the floor? You: No. Wife: Why not? Only takes 5 minutes! You have to admit: She is right. Doing so would be suicide of course, because we all know how long those "Its just 5 minutes - Joblists" are. 12 such jobs are 1 full hour. Back to gun length. 4" on a 42" rifle are say 10%. May not be much on one item, but +/- 10% on all equipment get into it. To me, any rifle longer than 1 m (39") needs to file for justification. I also battle constantly about the "office 10%" of my body, that I do not want to lug up the mountains. And here my tight cover rig: Last edited by cmg; 03/25/09.

A little guide gun gets snagged often enough, and a nice 26 inch barreled bolt would be worse. YMMV. Proudly representing oil companies, defense contractors, and firearms manufacturers since 1980.

In real tight cover I might pull the sling but never felt hampered with a 23" tube. Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.

Pair of .350 Mags... Ruger All-Weater shortened to 18.25" and a M600 Current favorite of the shorties... A Frontier in .358 and now have a matching gun in .308..

Marlin 1895 w/1x-4x Scout scope and XS ghost ring sight in .45/70 Winchester 64 with Lyman 21 aperature sight in .32 Win Special. Winchester 100 with 2x Weaver in a tip-over mount in .308. Low power scopes or aperature sights are fast and accurate. I hunt the national forests in northern Wisconsin with these. They are all more interesting than most stuff in the woods these days and sometimes elicit conversations with the other hunters I run across because of their uniqueness.
