hi mate they come with 18 inch barrel as standard. but there was a batch of 14 inch barrel annies on the market. by all acounts there was a **** up at the factory. ther barrels should have been for the 22lr but they where chambered in hmr.

 

so they done a batch of 14 inch barrel annies in hmr. something along those lines. i would get the 18 inch one if i where you as i heard of some problems with the 14 inch barrel ones.

 

the rifles are very accurate. the thumbhole stock model is very nice walnut and great trigger grip. the trigger is sweet and can be adjusted. you can get a 2 stage trigger if needed from them. they hold there price well if you need to sell in future. and the bolt is smooth as you like.

 

 

the only downside are spare mags are dear. and there only 4 shot

OK, not heard that before, and I thought the minimum HMR barrel was 22"...looks like I am a bit out of touch!!
