I have both 10 and 14" 22lr barrels. Both are equipped w/ the same scope. Shooting of the bench, the 10 is easily the equal of the 14 in accuracy, maybe even better. Out in the woods, the 10 is easier to carry, but the fact is I shoot better w/ the 14...much better. Wish it was the other way around but it just 'taint so. May be just me. GOOD SHOOTIN', Walt :roll:
