How critical is barrel length. I think I’ve decided on the 10 FP-SR in .308. I’m seeing them for about $640 to $670 in 22-inch and 24-inch barrels. Wondering if there is any significant advantage of one or the other barrel length?

This will be a bench gun only. No hunting, so I am not concerned with weight. Actually, heavier would be good for taming recoil. It will be very rare to find anyplace around here that I can get out beyond 100 yards, but I don’t want to rule that out.
