[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2948275, member: 103303"] Not sure i can really help you then, but since this thread has been quiet, I'll give it a bump. My father had a 20" 30-06 for a while - it was unpleasant to shoot due to what we perceived as excessive muzzle blast. I have been using an 18" .308 win as a general camp/backpacking/saddle gun for over 10yrs now. Probably about my personal limit for a 'shorty', but everyone is different. (It also weighs less than 7lbs all up) My 30-06 has a 22" bbl (7-3/4lbs all up) My .280 has a 24" (8-1/2lbs all up) That's what seems to work for me 👍 (I like shooting the .280 best 🤣) Some guys have no problem shooting 18" magnums with big brakes though!!
