Thread: Barrel Lengths and Accuracy

We've all probably heard that, the longer the barrel, the greater the velocity! I've heard it referred to as approximately 50fps gained for every extra inch of barrel length, however, what about accuracy? Surprisingly, I've recently heard it said (without explanation) that, the longer the barrel, the 'less' accurate your rifle is! I always thought that, as long as you could practically 'tote' the thing, the longer the barrel the better off you are in both velocity 'and' accuracy!

What's your thoughts and comments on that?
