I would get the SS in 24", I can shoot everything from 200 gr saboted bullets to 460 gr full bore conicals under an inch with scope and under two inches with WGRS peep sight. I shot that little critter in my avatar with the 24" SS Huntsman and a 430 gr conical sitting on 80 gr of FFFG 777. Never heard him complain one bit. :wink:

If you really think you will be shooting 3 pellet loads with 200-250 grain saboted bullets, then you will want the 26" barrel.
