Rifles that are a wee tad muzzle-heavy for balance seem to be easier to hold on target when out in the field. That's particularly true when walking-hunting and an offhand shot is The Deal.

Sure, a shorty is fine if you're shooting from the cab of a pickup, but I don't see the point, otherwise.

On the steel target at my 500-yard range, a short-barrelled .308 just sorta scratches the paint. My 26" '06 makes dents.
