Do a poll!  Find out which one shoots better...that is, if you don't really have a preference for either length.  

Are you just having a barrel fitted or buying the whole rifle?  If it's the whole rifle, go with the one that gets you the stocks you prefer.

WHATEVER YOU DO,  don't wait too long or the money will be spent and you will have to start alllllll over again. LOL  That has happened to me!

Good Luck

Welcome aboard!! :D  The 2 options are 22" standard contour and 20" Superlight. The superlight in the Hornet seems to not be afflicted by the issues other superlight barrels are, but I wouldn't know for sure on that, I have the standard contour barrel which shoots sub moa 10 shot groups with handloads. If the little extra weight isn't an issue, I'd stick with the 22" barrel rather than take the chance that the superlight might be finicky to find a good load for it, specially if you don't handload.

Cookieman I do not think a newbie needs to start polls on a really specific topic. Just my opinion.
 Quickdtoo thank you for your input. sounds like the the kind of input I was looking for. Thank you, Les
