Barrel lengths

[Klem]

@Klen Question for you. Why do you feel that 18-20 would be Jack-of-All-Trades, master of none? Wouldn't that put it in the ideal spot for mid to _reasonable_ long range (600-800 yards)?

You've shifted the goal posts...In your second post you were asking for a 1,000+ gun, that's long range. 700yds is mid range so sure, an 18" will work, especially on a still day. Now it becomes a good compromise.
