I would like to preface this by stating that I have never even seen a SMR or any other longer barreled ML in real life.


Also, I fully realize that good accuracy can be had with shorter ML.


I also know that different rifling can make a difference in accuracy.


With that said, this thread is for the folks that actually own a longer barreled, **small caliber** ML, or has shot them enough to know.


Generally speaking, are **small caliber** ML with longer barrels more steady to hold on target than shorter ML? And yes, I realize weight makes a difference. What I'm referring to is the actual hold steady aspect of a longer ML, especially offhanded or using a tree as a rest.


Are there any advantages of the longer barrels in, lets say, a .32 caliber, .36 caliber and possibly a .40 caliber?
