I have a long rifle with a 42-inch 32 cal barrel. It is swamped, which helps to reduce weight and put the balance just behind the entry pipe, and I find it comfortable to hold for quite some time as I line up my shot. The longer sight distance is good for my aging eyesight and accuracy has always been excellent.I've not carried or fired a short 32 or 36 for comparison, and don't see a need to acquire one as I'm very happy with what I have, but I don't think a long rifle should be much more difficult to carry in the squirrel woods than a short one.
