[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 3045220, member: 108926"] The correct way to measure barrel length is use a cleaning inserted down the barrel on a closed bolt ( empty chamber ) mark the cleaning rod at the muzzle, this gives you the correct length, depending on manufacturer measuring from the muzzle to the action will be approximately 5/8 to 7/8 short of the actual length, I hunt with 2.5 x 8’s I’ve never shot targets at long range but have busted hundreds of gallon milk jugs out to 800 yds, I just don have access to a place where setup and recovery of the jugs is convenient, 760 yds on a bear, and a rag horn bull elk at over a thousand [/QUOTE]
