adi786 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hi, going to get T Bolt 17HMR it comes in 16.5" barrel as well, would that be a good length to go for, am not massively sure how much difference length would make as it be my first 17hmr, let me know what length to go for and what difference to expect.. (probably grouping at long range? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Get the short barrel. The HMR doesn't need a whole lot of barrel length to get full speed (google Bullberry 17 HMR barrel length test) and the short barrel is far more convenient in a car when you add a moderator. Only way I would use a long barrel was with open sights which I assume you're not getting. rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bewsher500 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 makes no odds 16-18" is perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Had mine cut down from 22:1/2 inch to 15 inch. It lost 70 fps in muzzle velocity (which is nothing really)and still shoots sub inch groups at 125 yards in still air, if I do my bit.A much better tool for me with the shorter barrel.
