Is there really much benefit to having a 22” barrel rather than an 18” barrel?
I was looking at the Ruger American rifles in .308 and they come with either 18” barrels or 22” barrels. My preference is the 18” barrel since I’ll have a suppressor on the end of the gun and it will keep the OAL down.
I dont foresee ever shooting past 500 (at least not often) so is there really much benefit to the extra 4” of barrel length? Also, at what point does the extra barrel length come into play and is beneficial?
