[QUOTE="jc5420, post: 2408716, member: 16425"] Either barrel length will get you well past 200y. 18" barrel gives you a little more velocity and depending on mid / rifle length gas you will have a smoother running rifle as well. 16" mid length or 18" rifle length are the better choices for both barrels IMO. Really if I were going to do an 18" barrel I would almost rather go ahead and get a 20" for even more velocity. Thats just me, I have always ran with 16" or less and 24" for my varmint / predator rigs. [/QUOTE]
