Greetings,
I'm looking at picking up my first '73. It will be in .44 WCF, as I already shoot and reload that cal, though I'm torn between 18" and 20" bbl lengths. I hate to be the new guy with 50 questions, but I tried the "search" first.
Does 10+1 of .44WCF feed just as reliably from an 18" tube as the 20" tube?
Any other considerations for barrel length?
I intend to use this mainly for boondocking around and plinking, but I'll probably shoot some CAS events. Are there any drawbacks to one of the slicked-up models from Longhunter, PGW, or Cody with respect to a general use/woods/hunting rifle?
I don't want a gun that's good for nothing but competing, but a I want a reasonably competitive rifle, if that makes sense. I've been a USPSA and 3 gun guy since my teens, and I might give this cowboy thing a try.
Thanks,
D
