i can understand that, and, still, it was just a 300yds shot.
i do not get the idea of making 500, 700 etc yds shots where, presumably, the rationale for a 300 win caliber cannon comes from. but, whatever.

again, all i can say comes from my experience of lugging shit on my back. barrel longer than 20" sucks. sucks even more than a weight of the gun, as it will be catching at everything, and difficult to move if you hold rifle in front of you, 24", 26"+ - it is just way too long. what others said about backpack was also true, but attaching a rifle behind backpack rarely works too well. may be there are new and enhanced systems now to deal with it, but, i did not see any. old way was to counterweight backpack with a rifle in front of you, and it has consequences for mobility.
