45-70 barrel length

Post by hornetguy »

I tried a search, but couldn't find any discussions about this....
Let's pretend I'm going to get a Marlin 45-70... I don't want the cowboy type... too heavy for what I want. My question is, is there a big real world difference in velocity between the 18.5" guide gun, and the 22" regular rifle? I know the GG really maneuvers well, but is it really THAT much "better" in that regard? I'm fairly sure muzzle blast will be worse with the GG...
I'm open to suggestions, and there is a gun show this coming weekend.

Welcome aboard!

This is the temporary forum site, and the regular one is back up. You may want to post the question over there, as it will be seen by a lot more levergunners! :D
