Why is the Velocity faster in a Longer barrel than a short one? I ask because I just don't understand why people say this. I am thinking about getting a .308 in Remington VLS, 26" Bull Barrel or a Remington Tactical in a 20" Bull Barrel. I don't won't to get the 20" Barrel and it slow the bullet down (Because a .308 is slow as it is), but if it's not slowing it down toooo much, I wouldn't mind saving the extra $300 buck by not getting the Higher VLS with the 26" barrel but I will gladly pay the extra price if it helps. I will be mainly using the rifle in bench targeting and hunting in a box stand. Which would be more accurate (20" or 26"). I'd appreciate any opinions on the pros and cons of each along with explaining WHY the slower speeds in the 20" Barrel and the increased speeds in the longer. Thanks!!

Are Taurus and Rossi the same company? And if they are, why is the Rossi brand cheaper? Is the quality worse in the Rossi. The reason I ask is bc I am looking at 2 Revolvers Pistols and they look the same, ones is a Taurus and the other a Rossi, the Rossi being about $250 cheaper. Help me out here please!!!

I have finally jumped on the .30-06 bandwagon!! I went and bought me a nice Ruger M77 Mark 2 SS with a Muzzle Break on it, and it is bored in the ever most popular .30-06 caliber!!! Now I need an opinion on what would be the best bullet type/weight/ammo brand for Deer hunting and Elk hunting with my .30-06 caliber rifle? I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Can you shoot .280 Ackley ammo in a .280 Remington rifle? I just bought a .280 H&R single shot and am looking for some good .280 ammo for it and ran into a problem. There are .280 Remington ammo and then there is .280 Ackley. Are they the same or are they different? Can I shoot both in my rifle?

I saw a H&R Single Shot .280 at Wal-Mart for $245, Is this a good deal for a deer hunting rifle? I am asking because it sounded like to good of a deal to be true and I don't really know much about the .280 Caliber. What is it compared to (the .280 Cal), I'm assuming it is close to the .270. I will be putting a Leupold Rifleman on it if I get it, would this combination do it's job on deer within 100-250 yards on average. Let me know what ya'll think. Thanks for any help.

I just bought a .308 Remington 700 VTR and am shopping for the right scope to put on it, any suggestions? I will be hunting Deer and Elk between 100-300 yards. Which scope do y'all think would be best for this setup? I want to keep the price $375 and under. Thanks for any help...

I asked this question earlier and people gave me crap about the info of the question so I rephrased it. Is the .308 Win strong enough to kill Elk at 100-150 yards using a 165-180 grain bullet, or do I need something bigger and stronger?

I know the .308 caliber is known for it's great accuracy but is it potent enought to take elk down at 300 to 350 yards? I hunt deer mostly and will start to hunt Elk next season and make it a yearly thing so I want to know if I need to get something bigger or can I stay with my .308?
