30", That way there is room for set backs......

High velocities and high volumes equal set backs...

I don`t know if I`d go that short, but if this was for a carry rifle I`d definitely have to compromise on the length........24"-26"....

 

[22BRGUY]

26" to 28"

As Phil said, if this is a carry gun probably 24"-- if it's for shooting from a rest go as long as you can. dedogs

Set-back-ability = room to maneuver down the road should you desire to AI - never say "never" ya know or set back or even rechamber, unless $$ be erupting from your pockets. If carry ability is a factor and you are a younger limber-back kinda dude, consider a hvy sporter. At least finish at 24", minimum imo.

My 22br I'm building is a walking gun barrel is 25in magnum contour

25" for a carry gun and 28" for a bag gun.

I have 22BR I use for Eastern ground hogs, coyotes and deer. 55g Nos BT, and 60g Nos Part for deer. It was a LV contour, had it cut back to 22 inches for manuevrability, have not regreded it an inch! If I had to walk more, I probably wish it were a Rem. Varmint countour or slightly smaller diameter. Samuel Hall
