    Barrel shortness = stiffness. A short bbl is stiffer and helps reduce harmonics issues. Sure all barrels whip when the rifle is fired and a thicker, stiffer = shorter barrel will be more forgiving and more accurate on a whole.
    A good job and a good wife has been the ruin of many a good hunter.
