What was the reasoning for the shortened barrel?

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Great pictures! By the subject I was expecting the sights to be shortened. I don’t know why you did it but I like it.

Welcome to the forum from CT and thanks for sharing the photos of your rifle's modification. I hope you'll share pics of the saddle, too. Very interesting.

Thanks. A shorter barrel makes sense for a saddle mounted varmint gun. And the single shot t speaks well for your skills.
