I'm probably buying a Steyr 308 Pro Hunter soon.What is the opinions on the two choices in barrel length-20" or 23"?

I just bought a .308 in the 20" barrel. Very compact, and excellent tree stand woods rifle.

Are you buying from Steyr? $599 for black and $649 for stainless from them direct until the 7th.

Have you tried Google?

I have a 20" .308 and it's my go to rifle. Get the 20'!

Agreee with above. I have a pro hunter 7mm08 with the 20" barrel and not only will it drive tacks, it just feels right and handles right.

Yep! My .280 Rem Pro Hunter in stainless with a camo stock is the one rifle I will not part with.

You need to handle both and decide. I prefer a little weight forward for shooting off hand ,so would likely go with a 23,but I haven't handled both side by side.
