I have an opportunity to purchase a Savage 10FP in a 20" or a 24" barrel. I realize the longer barrel is heavier but also more accurate.
Can anyone shed light on this for me from your experience regarding the advantage of a longer barrel. Will 4 inches make that much difference at
400 to 500 yards? Both weapons are used and .223 for $575.00.

I also have an opportunity to purchase a new 10FP in .308 in a 20" barrel for $550.00. I am hesitant only because of the added cost of the ammo.
