Nice lines with the spray! Looks clean with the black barrel and reciever! Hey, is that a BSA Sweet 17?

The bandsaw in the shop has been telling me the barrel is too long also.

Lol, I haven't even gotten my .17 Sportster yet, and I was thinking I wanted to trim the barrel a bit. With the laser flat path of a .17hmr I don't think taking a few inches off the barrel would affect the accuracy yeah?
Let me know when and how much you trim it down. I wanna take a gander at it if I could ! :)

18" would look sweet. i just took out my Handi Rifle today after replying to you earlier, just to mess aorund with measurments. i was thinking of taking my .45-70 handi down to 18.5"! i think it'd look BEAST!

This is what mine looks like now. With a 14" long scope on such a small gun as it is, it kind of already looks a little snubb-nosey. But I thinka  couple more inches would look great! Let me know what you think, and how much you'd personally take off.
Is your .45-70 a Handi btw?

Since that post, I have decided not to trim the barrel. I took that particular Pentax scope off my Handi and threw it on my .17 Sportster. Gonna try and freshen up my open sights on my .45-70 :)

Yes Sir! 26" is a rather small Handi Rifle!
Can't see myself going anywhere near that! However thanks for the heads up Ben!
