Thinking about a Rem 700

[Dave]

I have given a lot of thought to that rifle in the TP, it seems like a good package deal, especially since I don't yet own a .308. My only thought was, if there is much difference in accuracy and ballistics at say 200-300 or even a little more yards from a 20" vs a 26" barrel if they are both in a heavy profile.

Shorter for your needs is better then trying to swing another 6" around in the woods. The difference is part bbl, the other ammo used. I know i can do 5-600 with the 20". Another forum member shooting a 16" AR with 75gr loads does 600. So ammo plays a major part in the equation.
