Im thinking my next rifle should be a 308 bolt gun. I already have it narrowed down to the Remington 700 SPS. I just cant decide if I want the tactical 20" barrel or the 26". I have a 223 with the 26" barrel. If I got the 26" it would match the 223 and give me a few more feet per second. If I got the 20" it would be a little more balanced and not as much of a bench/prone gun. What Im wondering is how much the 6" difference is going to make past 500 yards. It will mostly be a paper/steel puncher but I might take it hunting if I get the urge... I usually take the 270 for deer and 7mag for elk so I dont NEED it for hunting. Mostly just to have and enjoy. Pros, cons, opinions... Lets hear them. Thanks guys
