22" bull or 24" Ultra .223 barrel?
« on: May 20, 2005, 11:41:04 AM »
I am sending in one of my frames to have a .223 barrel fitted to it, but I cant decide which barrel I want.  Is there any difference between the 22" bull and 24" Ultra bull barrel (other than 2")?  Also, does anyone know if H&R is offering the fluted barrel?

None of the fluted barrels are on the 2005 accessory barrel list....for the little difference of $7, I'd opt for the 24" bull barrel.

Just depends on how much weight ya want to lug around.  Mine (24" bull) weighs about a pound more than a std barrel.

Sure does shoot good though.

Get the 24" bull barrel.  Come on, an extra 2" won't even be noticable in weight or length while hunting/shooting.  Unless you're a wimp.  But you'll get almost +100fps in velocity from your standard loads with the longer barrel.  And the handi barrels don't feel very long anyways since they start way back at the hammer.  A 24" Handi is short compared to a regular bolt rifle when standing side by side.
