Hey guys, I'm sure this has been hashed out multiple times, so I'm sorry to bring it up again but this is my first grendel so I'm a little in the dark. I'm getting an Atheris match build and I'm not sure what barrel length to get. I want it for the tactical DMR role, as neither my duty rifle or my CQB are set up to go the range. I'm not interested it making 1000 yard shots, but I want something that can drop things peeking behind cover in the 300-500 yard range. From what i've seen, there's not a huge velocity bump going up to a 20" from a 16." My question is, are there significant gains in accuracy and/or velocity to be made from the extra 4" that would offset having to lug it around? In my mind, since I'm not trying to push the range as far as I can, it doesn't seem like I need that extra velocity but maybe I'm missing something. Thanks for the thoughts!
