I never thought I would fall for the pro Hunter ,but man, it just feels so good in the woods. I took my first black powder deer with it this year and I'm hooked. The action is simple. Cocking the hammer feels natural when it's time to shoot. The gun is short even with a full length Barrel.
I think part of the appeal to me is I'm left handed and have been shooting right handed guns my whole life. It's nice to shoot a gun that fits. With all that being said, I want to use the gun as my centerfire hunting platform as well. I have found a site that has bergara barrels at a good price. Question is, they offer a 24" and a 28" in 243 for about the same price. Is there any advantage to a barrel that long? I thought a 20" standard rifle barrel gave you full velocity from most rounds. Anybody want to help me decide?
