However, reality is that I shoot the 26" ones that I have, just as well. (Which isn't great in any case.) Go figure.


Mike, my research to date says you may have 26" barrels with MOI similar enough to your longer bbled guns that it doesn't matter to you, individually. Also likely, you as an individual are just not sensitive to swing efforts. That is how I figure it.
